Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) – On 4 April, a grand opening of the first specialized pre-school institution in Uzbekistan with a rehabilitation center took place in Nukus.
This institution will allow the inclusion of children with special needs in the socio-cultural environment, to cover them with preschool education and provide rehabilitation.
The rehabilitation and educational institution in Nukus was established in accordance with the resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On measures to organize a specialized pre-school educational institution with a rehabilitation center for children in the Aral region” dated 16 August 2018. The kindergarten is designed for 120-150 pupils with disabilities.
The construction and equipment of the rehabilitation and educational institution in Nukus was fully implemented through the free assistance of foreign and local investors.
In addition to the standard premises in a two-story building with an area of 3,447 sq.m., there is a swimming pool, a gymnastics room, 2 physiotherapy rooms, 2 massage rooms, a sensory room, a room for fine motor skills, social adaptation, music and art therapy, orthopedic, psychologist, pediatrician, nutritionist, speech therapist, rehabilitation specialist, psycho neurologist, methodologists and duty doctor.
“The issue of children’s health in the Aral Sea region is particularly acute. In the Republic of Karakalpakstan, as of 1 January 2018, the number of children with disabilities aged 0 to 7 years increased by 17.5% compared with 2013. For this reason, the President decided to organize the first rehabilitation and educational institution in Uzbekistan in Nukus. The children who were here had no access to the socio-cultural environment before. Many pupils spent most of their lives in the walls of the house. Also in Nukus, we begin the implementation of the principle of early intervention. It is known that 85% of a child’s brain develops in the first 5 years of life. When it comes to children with special needs, every day of class is important. In order to ensure the timely start of correctional and developmental work, we have reduced the age of admission to this kindergarten from 3 to 2 years,” the Minister of Preschool Education Agrippina Shin said.
A specialized preschool in Nukus operates around the clock 5 days a week so that children from remote areas of the Aral Sea region can stay overnight. In the first half of the day, pupils are engaged in a training program with teachers who have completed advanced training courses in special pedagogy, and in the second, they undergo rehabilitation and rehabilitation procedures under the supervision of full-time medical workers.
Correctional educational rooms of the rehabilitation center are equipped with foreign equipment and equipment: paraffin oven, medical simulators, dry massage baths, neuro-orthopedic pneumosuits, mobile scooters, orthopedic bicycles, speed scooters, adaptive chairs, equipment for the development of the vestibular apparatus, products for sensory apparatus, sensory products , system "Soundbeam" and apparatus for physiotherapy.
Therapeutic measures are aimed at the correction of developmental disorders, medical rehabilitation and social adaptation. Also, the rehabilitation center will carry out procedures for children with special needs who have come out of preschool age.
The Ministry of Preschool Education will continue to work on the construction and commissioning of new specialized pre-school educational institutions with rehabilitation centers in other regions of the country.
