The centre provides psychological and social assistance, rehabilitation and
social adaptation of children with speech and mental development disorders, and with autism spectrum disorders.
With or without the war, the parents of children with mental disorders are looking for ways to ease the adaptation of their kids in the society. High Five is looking for a supportive and professional way to do just that.
A mother of one of the clients says her child was only talking in single words before coming to the centre and had a very hard time with teachers in her school. After a couple of months, the mother was shocked when she came back home and heard 5 full sentences from her daughter, while she also became more attentive at school. Another parent adds to this an enormous gratitude to the specialists who helped their child to become more autonomous and to develop mental abilities.
There are tens of thankful comments like these and they all praise Mariia Lyzhnyova, the founder, and the team’s professionalism and dedication to the careful process of rehabilitation. Mariia has a BA in Clinical Psychology and an MA in General Psychology, she is a behavioural analyst and helps the parents to see the world from their child’s perspective.
Over the next 3 years, the centre plans to provide assistance to about 200 children and their families, attract new specialists, increase the area and equipment of the center, and expand the rane of services.
