Meet Victoria! She is 4 years old and has a subgroup A disability and autism spectrum disorder. The girl can speak, but from an early age she has needed special support and an individual approach to learning and development.
The Dream to Live Charitable Foundation, based at the Inclusive center “World of Opportunities” is implementing a project—day care for children with subgroup A disabilities—within which Victoria receives systematic support in a stable and safe environment.
She has become more attentive, calm, and friendly. Her behavior clearly shows politeness and respect for adults and peers, and Victoria approaches educational tasks with great interest and willingly participates in classes.
Victoria has discovered new hobbies: role-playing games, fairy tale therapy, and sensory exercises that help her better understand herself and the world around her.
Music and dance occupy a special place in her life: she watches the teachers closely, memorizes and repeats movements, and easily learns poems and songs. The girl also shows interest in theatrical activities, where she can express her emotions and imagination.
Day care creates conditions in which Victoria develops her interaction, learning, and self-expression skills at a pace that is comfortable for her.
