In the photo on the left is Misha from the Zolinsky special (correctional) boarding school. The boy is very creative. He studies in the “Soft Clay” group and takes great pleasure in making crafts from salt dough and plasticine. Misha is a “special” child. Such people have impaired speech, gross and fine motor skills, problems in communication and many other difficulties.
One day, Mikhail and other children from the boarding school attended a pottery master class. This is what he said after the lesson: “At first it was hard, I thought that nothing would work out. Our teacher said that we can do anything. And I sculpted such a beautiful flower from clay! I am very happy! After all, this is my first job! I would like to go there again."
Clay modeling is both the prevention of personality deviations, the release of negative emotions, and the relief of neuropsychic tension, fears, and aggression. Our ancestors knew how to work with clay, communicate with nature, and we want to revive this experience and use it to improve the health and socialization of children who were left without parental care.
Help us open a pottery workshop in Zolinskaya special. school. We want Misha and his “special” friends to have the opportunity to undergo rehabilitation using craft methods. Let them have the opportunity to restore and develop work skills, to realize themselves creatively in a psychologically comfortable environment. Let children feel like full members of society.
