Autism (ASD)
Children on the autism spectrum get a predictable structured routine, small groups, sensory support and individual guidance. We work on communication, social interaction, self-regulation and daily independence — at the child's pace.

How we work with autistic children
Children on the autism spectrum need to know what comes next. That's why our day has a steady structure: morning greeting, sessions, a walk, rest — in the same order every day. New activities are introduced gradually, and changes are shown in advance with picture cards or explained.
Groups are small, so there is always an adult nearby who notices when things become too much. For those moments we have a sensory room with soft light and tactile materials, where a child can calm down and come back to play when ready.
What we work on
- Communication — from gestures and cards to words: asking, refusing, showing what they like
- Interaction — playing alongside, then together, taking turns
- Self-regulation — coping with loud sounds, crowds or surprises
- Everyday independence — dressing, eating, tidying up
Formats
Full-day or half-day care (ages 3–10), hourly stays to get to know the center gradually, and one-to-one sessions — play therapy, sensory sessions, psychological support. We decide together at the first consultation what suits your child.
No diagnosis is needed for the first meeting. If you're simply noticing developmental differences, come and talk to us.

Frequently asked questions
Do you accept non-speaking autistic children?
Yes. We use picture cards, gestures and other ways to communicate — a child doesn't need to speak to attend.
What do you do when a child is overwhelmed?
An adult helps the child move to a quiet place — the sensory or sunny room — and stays with them until they feel calm. No punishment or pressure.
Can we start with just a few hours?
Yes — hourly stays (400 UAH/hour) and half days are a common way to start.
