REHABILITATION PERIOD - a fortnight sojourn of a group of therapeutists, children and their parents, outside their home town, usually at the seaside. Within this period, children take part in daily therapy (lasting totally several hours per day), e.g. auditory training with a short warming up in the morning, individual therapy, logo-rhythmics, team work: artistic, sport, music, theatre activities. Moreover, one hour per day, parents work with their child under supervision of therapeutist. There are also short sight-seeing tours, fairy tale readings in the evening. Every child is supposed to write a diary, then, by the end of rehab period, the best one is awarded.
Each speech therapeutist supervises 5 children. As well, every child, along with his parents, can take advantage of session with psychologist. It is also possible to update a speech processor or to attend a lecture of a special guest. Parents may attend evening psychological classes or lectures to learn how to evaluate their own children and work with them. They can join a support group.
The rehab period is not for free but you can apply for PFRON subsidy (i.e. money you can obtain from the National Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Fund). Please submit your application to the competent PFRON branch.
