Thank you for helping Platon and raising funds for a course of hearing rehabilitation, which included intensive and varied activities with teachers of the deaf, speech pathologists, speech therapists, music specialists and body therapists. The course had excellent results. Platon began to speak more, not to confuse endings, and also made new friends and learned a new hobby.
Six-year-old Platon learned to hear two years ago with the help of cochlear implants. But his speech understood only Mom and Dad, the boy could not assemble into sentences of individual words, to pronounce them correctly, mixing voices and deaf sounds, saying instead of one word - another. A year before school, Platon's parents realized that even with regular speech therapy sessions, their son could not catch up with his peers. Special speech rehabilitation was needed.
"After rehabilitation, our relatives noticed that Platon began to speak more clearly, there were more new phrases in his speech, and he began to mix up words less. Now my son enjoys going to music school, he studies notes, draws, dances, and soon the teachers will give him an instrument. We chose the flute as it helps breathing and speech development. There is still a lot of work ahead. We continue to work with speech therapists and go to rehab every three months. I want to say a huge motherly thank you all for giving my son a chance to live a full life and go to a normal school, "- said Natalia.
Thank you all for responding and helping Platon!
