Robert became an interesting conversationalist because he underwent speech and hearing rehabilitation

With your help, three‑year‑old Robert completed a series of sessions with specialists and immediately started speaking actively, surprising his parents with his reasoning and questions. Thank you for helping him make progress in his speech.

Robert hears with the help of cochlear implants. To speak and keep up with his peers in terms of speech, he needs lessons with specialists.

“Thank you so much to everyone who gave us the opportunity to join this course,” says his mother. “After returning home from rehabilitation, I see Robert making enormous progress in all areas!” His speech became more detailed and understandable to others; he stopped being shy and started asking questions, which he hadn’t done before. And during games at home, he likes to become a “teacher” and quotes his teachers’ statements verbatim.

The main goal of the specialists during the two‑week rehabilitation course was to turn the child’s collection of individual words into full‑fledged thinking and coherent speech — and they succeeded. Previously, Robert didn’t understand the order of actions and couldn’t grasp cause‑and‑effect relationships. Now he himself explains to his mother that the puddles on the street are because it rained (and then the sun will come out). The boy’s father also noticed striking changes. According to him, his son has become a more sensible and interesting conversationalist, able to clearly explain his desires. After the rehabilitation, Robert went to a regular kindergarten for the first time. The teachers praise him: the child completes all the tasks, confidently addresses adults, and easily joins in any games with the other children. The boy not only hears and speaks confidently, but also no longer experiences any difficulties in communication. Thank you for supporting Robert!

Campaign information

Robert hears with the help of implants, rehabilitation is necessary in order to speak

Robert had cochlear implants implanted so that he could make out his spoken speech. But in order to speak well yourself, develop and go to a regular kindergarten, you need an intensive rehabilitation course at a hearing and speech center.

Robert had been "leading his mother by the nose" for a long time and did not give away his hearing loss in any way. He was muttering to himself, looking back at his mother all the time when she called. When the parents finally got to the right doctor and conducted a study, they found themselves with "fours" (borderline deafness) in both ears. Robert's cochlear implant surgeries were completed on time, up to two years old. He finally heard this world! And he started going to classes with specialists who taught him how to distinguish sounds. But that's not enough.

In the fall, Robert will go to a regular kindergarten. Before that, a three-year-old child needs to learn how to build his speech structurally, develop thinking and build vocabulary. During a comprehensive two-week rehabilitation with specialists, he will gain the necessary knowledge and catch up with his peers in speech development. Let's help!
