🏢 About the local organisation
In our country the diagnosis syndrome Down turns out to be the verdict which leads to the loss of parents in most of the cases. Nine of ten families reject their children immediately. And only five of these nine live more than one year. Only 10 of children with the Down syndrome live in families. The rest of them are grown up and educated in orphanages.There is a wide spread opinion in the society that the disabled children are usually born in the families of alcoholics and drug addicts. That is why these families get into the zone of condemnation. The children with the Down syndrome are considered to be physically weak and impossible to educate.Some of the families did not want to put up with this situation and decided to establish a public organisation of parents and defectologists. The mission of this organisation is to defend and realize the rights of the disabled guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
