Rehabilitation for 35 Deaf Children from Ukraine

Project Report | Jan 4, 2022
Once again, we are learning to hear and speak.

By Larysa Kuzmenko | Project Leader

Project “Verba” is an on-line program developed for children with speech and hearing impairments, which continues to provide them with safe access to rehabilitation of hearing and speech after cochlear implant surgery despite the ongoing COVID pandemic.

Following the initial 4 online sessions, parents’ satisfaction with the program scored at 98%. Based on post-session assessments, children’s auditory perception improved by 50%, and the level of speech skills grew by 30-40%.

These results inspire our team to continue creating rehabilitation sessions for children, which, in our observation, not only serve as a catalyst for learning but also stimulate parents’ engagement during the rehabilitation process.

Following rehabilitation, our children adopt well to social environments, communicate well with friends and family, some learn how to play musical instruments and others are starting to attend regular schools.

Our next online project, scheduled for January 20^th, 2022, will help thirty 3–7-year-old children from various regions of Ukraine. Some kids are coming from large families.

We want to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors, whose contributions support our work. Your ongoing support offers a chance for children to develop their hearing and speaking ability, which will help them greatly in schools and relationships.

Kind regards,
Project Leader
Larysa Kuzmenko
