Thanks to your support, Elisey had a speech development course and began to speak more clearly.

A year ago, the Petryakovs had no idea that their youngest son had a hearing problem. Yelisey responded to the name, understood everything, but he spoke late and did not progress beyond individual words. His mother enrolled her son in a speech therapy kindergarten. During the medical examinations it turned out that the child could hear practically nothing. Elisey started wearing hearing aids and his speech progressed more quickly - short sentences and new words began to appear. But the boy made a lot of mistakes, mixed up his his hisses, forgot about endings and did not agree on words. The mother herself hardly understood her son's speech, but it is necessary that he was understood by others: school is ahead and no one can do without good speech skills. The boy needed a course of auditory and speech development, which is not available under the MHI. You helped the family pay for it.

"My son's speech became much better after the lessons. Elisey is now able to retell small stories without mixing up genders and endings. His vocabulary has enriched. We received home study materials to reinforce what we learned. Our family thanks everyone for their support! Thank you for not leaving us alone with the problem!

Thanks to you, Elisey is now speaking better and clearer. There are still many lessons ahead, but the first important step has been made. Thank you for helping the Petryakovs!

About the campaign

Due to hearing problems, Elisha has poor speech and language skills. He needs rehab!

A year ago Elisey started wearing hearing aids, and with them he finally heard his mother, father, the sound of rain on the glass and the songs from his favorite cartoons. Miracle ears alone are not enough to learn to speak correctly and understandably. The boy needs help from rehabilitation specialists.

A year ago, the Petryakovs had no idea that their youngest son had a hearing problem. Yelisey always responded to his name and understood everything, but he began to speak late and did not progress beyond the individual words. They even enrolled him in a speech therapy kindergarten. When he went through medical examination it turned out that the child could hear practically nothing.

With hearing aids, his development went more quickly. New words and even short sentences began to appear in Elisei's speech. But the child makes a lot of mistakes, which neither his mother nor specialists in day care can cope with. He confuses hisses, forgets about endings and does not agree on words. Sometimes Natasha herself has trouble understanding her son's speech, and she needs strangers to understand him - school is ahead of her.

A course of lessons at the specialized center will help to improve hearing and speech development of the child, but rehabilitation there is not free of charge.

Let's support Elisey and give him a chance to speak clearly and correctly
