New Bulgarian University (NGO)

Development therapy centre for children with autism

 

In our travel in Bulgaria I visited an university which give place for people,who need special education further give chance for personaly and group activities.

In Bulgaria we can not find classes just forchildren who needs special education,they learn with normal kids.Every day the children can be here just in a time period,the other parts of the day they are in the schools, nursery, or at home with theire family.

For because all these teaching is working under a nongovernal institution the parents must pay. One hour group activity cost 10 leva, and one hour personal activity costs 20 leva. The number of the children changebel,but also it is low. With the children who need special educations : minor-, mental disorder-, dixlexia-, hyperactive- work 2 psychologist, 1 teacher of clinical speachand and one voluntar.

The group activity is organized 2 times a week, and every group work with just 5 children. The personaly activity is just 15 minute in a week,and every child got one educator in this time. The activity time in a month is 16 hour, and in a year this time is 6 month. A time of a therapy can be 6 month but can be many years too. The activity rooms are very small and they don’t have good equipage. Deserve attention that every week they organize a meeting where they talk about the problems which need solution. Further in every month a psychologist make test and give the new reports for each person-how to develope easier and what they need.

In Bulgaria the commun of the parents are subdivide. There are parents who can not work easily with the workers. But at the same time it is necessary that the teachers and the parents can work together because the children need that special education.

In summer time they organize camps where the teachers,children and the parents attend too. Int he camp time the parents can also learn the methodes how to develope theire children at home too.
