Project idea
Creating a space for the development of creative abilities, the formation of labor skills, socialization, and group interaction experience outside the family for children with special health needs by organizing educational woodworking courses.
The project aims to teach children with special health needs carpentry methods and techniques, as well as how to use carpentry tools in daily life; to foster creative and innovative thinking among the parents of these children; and to create a safe and supportive environment for the socialization and interaction of children with special health needs.
Relevance
According to Rosstat, the number of children with disabilities in Russia is increasing annually. In light of this, it is essential to strengthen the system of interaction between families raising children with special health needs and specialists who can help improve quality of life for these children.
Social effect
Improving quality of life for children with special health needs will be achieved through developing creative abilities, forming labor skills, socializing, and providing group interaction experience outside the family. Additionally, it involves strengthening families raising children with special health needs by creating a space for communication and mutual support in and around Rostov-on-Don.

Project Results
Children with disabilities acquired carpentry knowledge and skills, enabling them to undertake professional trials, expand their understanding of manual labor, and recognize their potential. Completion of the long-term educational course reinforced their household labor skills, helped them gain experience in gender roles, values, and cooperative interactions with adults and peers and develop self-determination within culture and society.
Parents gained knowledge about developing their children’s creative abilities, broadening their perspective on their child’s potential, including hidden compensatory qualities that emerge when subjected to certain constraints.
Children and adolescents with special development needs participated in training sessions, gaining new social interaction experiences and learning more about their abilities and skills.
Families raising children with special health needs received previously inaccessible creative and recreational services.
