Report

A course of sessions with speech therapists, surdologists and psychologists helped the boy to improve his speech skills. More than 40 sessions have been completed, during which Mustafa learned to pronounce new sounds and grammatically correct sentence structure. Thank you for your support, tubers!

Two years ago, Mustafa contracted severe pneumonia and became completely deaf. The child was urgently fitted with cochlear implants in both ears, but this was not enough to restore his speech. Since then, the Magomedovs started regular sessions with a doctor, because several months spent in complete silence had sharply slowed down the two-year-old's speech development. But even with a speech therapist, his speech was still incomprehensible to others: it is not an easy task to make complex consonant sounds for a child with cochlear implants. It requires simultaneous complex work of several specialists in auditory rehabilitation. And it happened, thanks to your support.

“The rehabilitation went great! My son has begun to understand more speech, and he has also gained a new vocabulary and is already trying to form sentences. Thank you all so much for helping our family,” says Saida, the boy's mom.

Mustafa will continue his speech lessons at home with his mom. Specialists gave the family all the recommendations and exercises to consolidate the acquired skills and further development of speech. Thank you for supporting the Magomedov family!

About the campaign

Mustafa has had an auditory implantation and needs speech rehabilitation to speak

Four-year-old Mustafa needs help with rehabilitation after cochlear implantation. The two-week course will help the child build up his vocabulary, learn to understand the speech of others, pronounce sounds correctly and build simple sentences.

Mustafa's hearing has been excellent since birth. He babbled in time and by the age of one and a half he began to speak simple words - “mommy”, “daddy”, “gimme”. And also his name. However, after a severe pneumonia, which rapidly developed into meningitis, the child became completely deaf and began to lose his sight.

As a matter of urgency the child was prescribed glasses and cochlear implants were installed in both ears. As soon as the “phones” were connected and set up, regular lessons with a speech therapist began, because several months spent in complete silence, sharply slowed down the child's speech development. It took almost two years for Mustafa to begin to understand others and speak.

But his speech is still incomprehensible to others, as it is a difficult task for a child with cochlear implants to produce complex consonant sounds. In addition, Mustafa has a limited vocabulary. He needs the help of many specialized specialists at once. It is not a problem to find them in one rehabilitation center. The problem is to pay for an expensive course. Let's support Mustafa so that he can speak clearly and confidently!
