LEWENJA is being operated as a day school and not a boarding school, as it is usually the case in the field of special education in the Ukraine. Besides kindergarden, pre-school and primary schooling, basic early intervention services, medical rehabilitation and integrated education are being offered by the centre, which is being operated by a very dedicated team. The development of the Centre has been supported by CBM throughout the last years in the fields of teacher training, renovation, special devices/ equipment/furniture etc. Since about 2004 the centre is moreover functioning as training centre in the field of blind education. It offers seminars and workshops for special padagogues from other schools throughout the Ukraine. Additionally, workshop for parents are being conducted. The respective workshops and seminars are financed by CBM. Moreover the centre has started publishing special literature and producing teaching videos in Ukrainian language. In 2005 CBM started in cooperation with Hilton-Perkins Programme supporting the establishment of a deafblind unit at the Centre. The centre has developed into a key player in the field of blind education and deaf-blindness in the Ukraine. |
