The regional conference “Family and Inclusive Society” took place in Sevastopol

The conference “Family and Inclusive Society”, dedicated to International Family Day, brought together the heads of the city’s educational institutions, parents raising children with disabilities, as well as government officials.

There are millions of people living in the world with various characteristics of physical and mental development. Like everyone else, they should be able to fully participate in society. Every year, more and more children with different developmental disabilities come to study in educational institutions in our city, for whom conditions for equal access to quality education are created. Today, 4,740 disabled children and children with limited health abilities are studying in educational organizations in Sevastopol. During the conference, we told parents about the possibilities of building an individual development trajectory for each child. At the event, there were consultation points where parents were able to receive individual advice on interacting with special children. Sometimes parents have certain difficulties due to lack of knowledge. While parents were looking for answers to their pressing questions, a separate play area was created for children, where specialized specialists worked with them, — quotes the press service of the Government of Sevastopol and.
