Ira has autism. Up to the age of four Ira found it difficult to express herself. She often cried and felt frustrated. Thanks to Naked Heart Foundation she started classes with qualified specialists and learnt to communicate with her family. She feels much happier and enjoys the same life as her peers. She loves going to nursery, swinging in her hammock and dancing like nobody’s watching.

Kirill’s disability meant he struggled to be around other children, quickly becoming frustrated and angry. If he wanted to play, he would just pull hair or sometimes even beat another kid to attract his attention. Thanks to intensive support programme ran by Naked Heart Foundation he learnt how to play with other children without hurting them. It made a huge difference to his and his family’s lives and he can now spend hours playing toys and hide-and-seek with his friends! 

Tanya has autism and in her first years she couldn’t make herself understood; when she started classes at Naked Heart Family Support Centre she couldn’t even say “Hello”. Just four month later she learnt to communicate using special cards with symbols. Very soon after she already could show what she needs and ask questions. And then she even started greeting all her teachers at the Centre!
