Report

A few years ago, Eva was fitted with cochlear implants, which enabled her to hear. But clear, correct and understandable speech, when a child pronounces all sounds and does not mix up the endings, is something else entirely.

Eva has been working with speech therapists and speech pathologists for more than five years, but unfortunately these efforts are not enough for the school program and the girl needs to develop her speech skills. Without the support from the specialized centers, she would start to fall behind in her studies. Fortunately, this will not happen. After all, you helped pay for a rehabilitation course for Eva.

Eva's parents and friends can see the changes in her speech. Thank you for giving her the ability to speak clearly!

About the campaign

Eva needs rehabilitation

Russian is like a foreign language for first-grader Eva Shonina. She gets confused with endings, genders and numbers. Surgeons were able to quickly restore the girl's hearing: they installed cochlear implants. But only rehabilitation can help her develop her speech.

For five years, the girl has been regularly engaged with a speech therapist and a speech pathologist, which helped her to socialize and make friends. Eva has a good vocabulary and is easily understood by her peers. But her skills are not good enough for a regular school. The beginning of the school year showed that Eva needs help from highly qualified professionals.

She cannot yet easily recognize individual sounds in words, which means that it will be difficult for her to write dictations. She cannot always form a sentence correctly or answer a detailed question. Now Eva needs a course in hearing and speech development at the Center "Speech Therapy-Profi" (Saint-Petersburg).

Rehabilitation is impossible to get at OMC. You and I can help Eva. One intensive course is enough to "raise" the speech, and consequently the progress of Eva. We have the power to support the girl so that she has as few difficulties as possible in her studies and life.
