An inclusive society is a safe society in which a person knows from childhood that no matter what happens to him, no matter how he is, he will not be rejected, he will find a place and he himself can always be useful in this world.
The joy of communication is vital for everyone, and children with developmental disabilities are no exception. The trouble is that they not only don't know "how", some don't even realize that communication itself can be a pleasure!
We have managed to create the most comfortable, interesting and safe environment possible for the harmonious union of teachers, parents and children. In such an environment, every child comes into contact well, develops more quickly and adapts to social life.
This is the "Romashka Innovative Inclusive Center for Children and Teenagers" - a project implemented by the Siberian Charitable Foundation for Children with Disabilities and Orphans "Only together".
During 4 years, the center has been visited by more than 500 children, and more than 80 children are engaged in the center permanently.
Everything began with one fitness room, now we have a room provided by the City Administration. The premises are very large - 1000 m2, we are gradually equipping it. On a constant basis a speech therapy kindergarten, a family type school, a city camp during the vacations. Classes are also held by a speech therapist, a speech pathologist, an adaptive physical education coach, a psychologist, and others.
In spite of the fact that we are provided with premises free of charge, the utility payments amount to about 100,000 rubles per month. Most of them are payments for heating.
We ask you to help us pay for the heating, because otherwise we will not be able to continue our classes and help families raising children with special needs.
