The Theme of the Project: Creation of a training-resources base for a complex assistance for people with special educational needs.

Problem description:

In the context of democratization of the society, introduction and dissemination of inclusive education, use of new forms and methods of work in all spheres of life, one of the primary tasks is to create conditions for realization of accessibility, educational work, individual mobility and rehabilitation of persons with developmental disabilities.

At present, there are a small number of organizations and institutions in the country that provide comprehensive correctional assistance to children with disabilities, methodological assistance to teachers working with children of this category and the parent community; specialize in the full and effective involvement and inclusion of people with disabilities in society, can inform and educate the public to interact with persons in this category.

Therefore, the next step in improving the quality of life of children with developmental disabilities is the breaking down of linguistic, psychological and social barriers in interaction with people with special educational needs. Such an opportunity could be the creation of a training and methodological base for comprehensive assistance to children with disabilities.

Purpose of the project: Creation of a training and methodological base for the introduction of the latest techniques for the correction and rehabilitation of children with special needs (hearing loss, speech impairment, autism, Down syndrome, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, cerebral palsy); coaching of a wide range of the public on interaction with people with developmental disabilities; providing additional support for inclusive educational institutions.

Objectives of the project:

1. Providing holistic and effective correctional and rehabilitation services for children with special educational needs.

2. Provision of coordination and counseling services to specialists working with children with special educational needs.

3. Advising various categories of the population on the reasonable accommodation of persons with developmental disabilities.

4. Creating an environment for the physical, intellectual and emotional development of children with special educational needs.

5. Dissemination of experience in integrating persons with special needs into society and their subsequent support.

The project is aimed at population categories:

- Families with disabilities;

- Pedagogical staff providing educational services to children with special educational needs in special schools, inclusive education, individual training, etc .;

- Employees of medical and rehabilitation institutions of the city and the region;

- Other members of the community.

About 3000 people will benefit from the project. Of them:

Description of the project

Municipal Institution "Cherkasy Educational and rehabilitation Center "Kraina Dobra of Cherkasy Region Council" (the Center) is an educational institution for children with special educational needs. Main directions of work: education of pupils, their rehabilitation and socialization. The Center is an inexhaustible source of practical and informative experience in working with children of different categories. From our own experience, we have become convinced that we can be a resource center - a center of information and practical support for people who, in their professional activities or in their personal lives, contact people with special needs.

Today the Center offers corrective-developmental and rehabilitation services and social-psychological support for children, parents and teachers working with "special" children. However, there are still a number of issues that need to be addressed.

At present, the Center does not have any touch rooms or complexes that would allow not only to combine different types of correction, but also to find new approaches in interaction and establishing a trusting relationship with the child, relieving psycho-emotional tension and creating a relaxing atmosphere, as well as sensory and cognitive development of children with special educational needs.

The problem of the Center is also that the provision of medical physical education services in the Center takes place in a adapted room that does not meet the modern requirements and needs updating. Creating a modernized physical therapy room, where modern rehabilitation equipment will be concentrated, will help to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, to feel like full members of society, to increase their functional adaptation.

Specialists of the Land of Good, having appropriate professional education, extensive experience in working with children with special needs and a well-established system of work, provide corrective-development and rehabilitation services and social and psychological support for children, parents and teachers working with "special" children within the Cherkasy region. With the theoretical and practical experience, specialists of the Center can act as coaches, mentors for persons, organizations that cooperate with people with disabilities. Particularly important will be the creation of a center for cooperation, mentoring and support for children, parents and educators involved in an inclusive environment not only in Cherkasy region but throughout central Ukraine. The developed mechanism of cooperation will make it possible to improve the process of inclusion of persons of this category in society, which will make it possible to compare the capabilities of people with special needs with the capabilities of other citizens of Ukraine.

Thus, within the project we plan to:

- To equip an ergo therapeutic dark touch room for the introduction of modern correctional and rehabilitation techniques;

- To modernize the room of medical physical culture for corrective, rehabilitation, sports-improving work;

- Provide mentoring and support for children, parents and educators involved in inclusive environments;

- Conduct training, consulting and coordination of stakeholders in the form of on-site workshops, trainings, seminars, press conferences, workshops and more.

Project activities:

1. Information campaign, media strategy development (maintenance of the institution's website and Facebook page, which will provide information on the progress of the project; cooperation with local media that will cover the project activity) - throughout the project.

2. Mentoring training courses for institution professionals who will pass on experience in working with children with special educational needs (early support and support during school life; organization of accessible environment for children with disabilities; correctional classes; organization of various forms of work for children with special needs; integration into society and further support, etc.) - 2 months.

3. Repair of the room for the dark touch room (replacement of doors, painting walls) - 1 month.

4. Renovation of the room for the room of medical physical education (replacement of doors, painting of walls) - 1 month.

5. Purchase of equipment, furniture and equipment for the arrangement of the dark sensory room and the room of therapeutic physical training - 2 months.

6. Development of a plan of rehabilitation and correction work with the use of a dark sensory room and a room of medical physical training - 2 months.

7. Introduction of the newest techniques in the dark sensory room and the room of medical physical culture.

8. Dissemination of experience in providing complex services to children with special needs (consultations to a wide range of stakeholders in the form of field workshops, trainings, seminars, press conferences, workshops, personal and skype meetings, online consultations, etc.).

There are no circumstances that could stop or slow down the work. The project documentation is attached to the project and has a positive expert opinion.

4. Educating children with intellectual disabilities - SC facilitates the learning process of children with special needs, it can be used to engage different senses, which improves the perception of information. Inside the room, you can also create the perfect learning environment, eliminating unwanted irritants.
