💼 What the programme involves
"Project aims: In our country the diagnosis "Down syndrome" turns out to be a verdict which leads to the loss of parents in
most cases.
Nine out of ten families reject their children immediately. And only five of these nine live more than one year. Only 10% of children with Down syndrome live in families. The rest of them are raised and educated in orphanages.
Some families did not want to put up with this situation and decided to establish a public organization of parents and speech therapists.
The mission of this organization is to protect the rights of the disabled as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
