Project idea

The "UMka Online" project involves creating an innovative online platform for remote psychological and pedagogical assistance to children and families during the pandemic.

The platform provides a wide range of services: video lessons, online consultations, hotline, developmental activities, webinars for parents.

A team of 10 specialists from the center — psychologists, speech therapists, social educators — work daily to create an individual supportive and developmental environment for each family in need.

Relevance

The social significance of the "UMka Online" project results from the need to ensure continuity of psychological and pedagogical assistance to children with disabilities who experience difficulties in social adaptation, as well as their parents during the pandemic.

A survey showed that 67% of parents whose children attend the "UMka" center need remote services, emphasizing the project's relevance.

"UMka Online" will maintain the emotional connection between parents, children, and educators, which is especially important during social isolation. Continuing to work with already familiar specialists will help avoid wasting time on establishing new relationships and trust, as well as ensure an individual approach to each child and family, maintaining the effectiveness of the services provided.

Social effect

Reducing stress in children with special health needs due to restrictions caused by COVID-2019. Maintaining the level and quality of the educational process for children with special health needs in conditions of social isolation due to COVID-2019.

Project Results

A remote psychological counseling and pedagogical support service was successfully created. The specialists have been trained to provide social services remotely. The quality of life of families raising children who need specialist support has improved. The anxiety level in children and adults has decreased, and their emotional state has stabilized. Families have mastered new ways of positive interaction.

Project progress after CSS funding

After the funding ends, we plan to continue our project, using new competencies, for example when online classes cannot be held due to illness of teachers or children.
