Zoya began to express her thoughts more clearly and boldly

After auditory‑verbal rehabilitation, six‑year‑old Zoya began to speak clearly and construct phrases more confidently. And her mother received qualified recommendations for daily activities at home. Thank you for believing in Zoya and helping her get to classes with the right specialists.

Zoya hears thanks to cochlear implants. She absorbs new words like a sponge, but she can’t immediately use them correctly, often dropping endings and rearranging syllables.

“I sincerely thank those who didn’t remain indifferent to our request and helped my daughter improve her speech skills,” the mother says. “Her speech has become more intelligible! If earlier words could blend together, now the sounds are clearer, and she has become more confident in her thoughts and formulates them better.

The sessions with specialists at the rehabilitation center also helped with Zoya’s socialization. Now she is more willing to engage with the teachers.” If earlier she was afraid to demonstrate her abilities and answer questions, now she gets right to work.

In September, Zoya started in the preparatory group of a specialized kindergarten, and in a year she’ll be heading to school, where she’ll definitely need to develop proper speech. Rehabilitation became one of the important stages of preparation and helped the girl believe in herself. Thank you, tubers.

Campaign information

Zoya has a cochlear implant and requires the help of speech therapists to speak clearly and accurately

Six-year-old Zoya first heard her mother's voice when she was a year and a half old. Doctors operated on a child with grade 4 hearing loss and installed a cochlear implant.

Zoya is six now, and she has speech processors in both ears. All this time, parents have been working intensively to ensure that their youngest daughter can communicate without barriers. Zoya knows a lot of words, can build simple phrases. But in speech, he loses endings and prepositions, distorts words, rearranging syllables in them. If her family understands her broken language at home, then outsiders need a translation.

Zoya's parents take her to a specialized kindergarten 20 km from home, she works with a sign language teacher three times a week and learns new words with her mother every day. But this is not enough to start speaking correctly and clearly. The child needs a course of hearing and speech rehabilitation in a specialized center where they work with children after cochlear implantation. Before school, a speech leap is important for Zoya to start communicating in whole sentences. Now she really lacks new words, clear pronunciation and the kindness with which everything begins. Let's share it!
