According to the parent´s statement, it is extremely stressful when a child doesn´t communicate. They don´t know how to act when a child can´t express their wishes and needs, and it usually causes a tantrum. It is difficult for a whole family to deal with this problem, and they often try to close themselves off from the world. 

We have already helped hundreds of families and based on our experience we have developed special communication activities that help children and their parents on a daily basis.

 

"We learned to communicate with Davídek mainly as parents and to prevent situations that would cause him to have tantrums. We gained more confidence and didn't feel alone in our situation. The wonderful and kind ladies from the Diakonia team gave us a lot of valuable advice throughout the training of communication with our child."

How do we help children? 
The course has 8 sessions over six months, where we use games and small group work to develop communication, cooperation, and comprehension of others. The activities are always based on the child's individual needs. We use special therapeutic techniques such as working with music, artistic expression, and dog- assisted therapy.

 

The parent is present at all activities and then uses the experience from the games to practice coping with problematic situations in everyday life. We guide the family through challenging situations in their lives and offer psychological support.
