Misha is 12 years old. He was born on December 30 and became the best gift for his mother. He developed with a slight delay, but the real difficulties began at the age of 1.5: Misha fell silent, stopped responding to his name, and began to have tantrums. At the age of 2.5, he was diagnosed with alalia, a delay in psychomotor development. He started speaking only at the age of 5, but his speech was meaningless: he simply repeated words without understanding them. The family tried everything: ABA therapy, defectologist, neuropsychologist, massage, exercise therapy, swimming pool, canister therapy. Misha is afraid of horses, but fell in love with swimming. Before school, the test showed mild mental retardation. Now Misha is on family education in a private school, where in addition to subjects there are classes with a defectologist, speech therapist, neuropsychologist, AFC and social skills. Misha knows the letters, but not yet read. Knows numbers, seasons, determines the time by the clock. Can vacuum, wash the floor and dishes, make the bed, cook simple dishes with his mother's help. Very fond of learning new things. Mom brings up Misha alone, works part-time in delivery, but the prices for classes are rising. The funds will be used to pay for a course of AVA therapy for the development of speech, conscious communication and understanding. Every new word, every sentence you understand is a victory. Let's help Misha win as many of them as possible!
