Khadija is 4 years old. By the age of one, the parents noticed that the girl did not respond to the name, there was no imitation and no pointing gesture. Specialists diagnosed delayed speech development and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
After studying with specialists, Khadija became more calm, attentive and focused on her classes, began to follow instructions clearly, and cooperate with teachers. The girl can now "sit beautifully" and wait. There is also progress in academic and physical skills – Khadija has learned to distinguish and show basic colors, compare identical pictures, mastered a treadmill and a scooter, and plays with a ball with interest.
Thanks to classes with a speech therapist, the girl mastered onomatopoeia, began to pronounce individual words by syllables. Also, now Khadija has become more independent in household skills, an index gesture and a skill of requests through PECS cards have been formed. After a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which helped to stabilize Khadija's psychophysiological condition, she has improved her communication skills and developed her understanding of spoken language.
