By creating the consultancy and therapy center of First Step we promote child’s holistic development where the main focus is made on child, family and the their surrounding environment. The center is based on child’s bio-psycho-social model and offers corresponding and necessary services.
Development of every child is an amazing and unique process which should be unambiguously considered while promoting this process. The same holds true for the environment where child is brought up, because every family is unique with its recourses and peculiarities and the main goal of our professionals is to activate these recourses. If a child has any problem with development, it precisely must be addressed and solved based on the uniqueness of the family and child. Considering the above mentioned approach our center offers various services: a family will be met a by qualified team of professionals which will provide a family with consultation, enroll them in the program if necessary or refer them to other available services.
Currently, any family can apply to the center CT and receive consultations provided by pediatrician, child neurologist, occupational therapist, child, youth and adult’s psychologists, speech therapist and surdologist on any issue related to child’s development interesting to them.
Children with the risk of developmental delays will be served by specialists of early development at home, in the kindergartens or in any other natural environment for child. We have introduced various therapeutic approaches particularly for children with special needs, such as behavioral therapy, Early Denver Model, Floortime, group therapy, sensory therapy, speech and language therapy and eating disorder therapy. We have got one more novelty for parents- starting from March 2018 they will be able to receive consultations by a qualified psychologist.
