Beneficiary of the project ” Supporting social inclusion of girls and boys with disabilities in Amasia consolidated community” A. is 6 years old, who has a mental retardation. To make child development more effective in the Amasia community, the project’s multidisciplinary team has made it possible for her family to provide health care for children with developmental delays at the community level and to ensure their social inclusion.

A.’s parents և have mental development problems and the family is always supported by close relatives.
A. and his caregivers, his mother and a close relative, started using the professional services offered by the rehabilitation room of the Amasia community preschool in February.Although during the first visits the child, his mother and the accompanying relative were afraid and anxious, but the series of professional interventions of the rehabilitation room psychologist, music therapist, art therapist, speech therapist gave confidence to the effectiveness of the services provided, activate the child’s perception, focus, analytical thinking. Strengthen parent-child relationships and support the development of parenting skills through counseling.
Due to the ergotherapeute services located in the community health center, A.’s needs were assessed according to the WHO ICF methodology, and training activities were carried out to train, focus and maintain attention.

Although the epidemic prevented A. from providing ongoing face-to-face rehabilitation intervention to his family, the distance-based professional intervention was mostly advisory in nature, aimed at obtaining A.’s legal status of disability. It will enable A. and his family to benefit from the system of benefits provided to this social group and to provide access to various community services aimed at children with disabilities.
