17.05.2011 - presentation of the book "Guide for parents of children with disabilities: help and support"
This Guide is aimed at parents who are expecting or already have a child with disabilities. The system of assistance and support available from state social, medical and educational state institutions and public organizations is described in this Guide.
The Guide was produced as an output of a three-year program of cooperation between the Nordic Council of Ministers, the three Baltic States and North-West Russia, which focused on children with disabilities and members of their families. It was initiated by the Nordic Centre for Welfare and Social Issues and was financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
The idea of producing the Guide came from parents who have children with disabilities in the Kaliningrad Region, who later participated in the realization of the program.
The program was carried out with the participation of: The Ministry of Social Policy of the Kaliningrad Region, The Ministry of Education of the Kaliningrad Region, The Ministry of Health of the Kaliningrad Region, The Kaliningrad regional public organization for children and youth with disabilities «Maria», The Kaliningrad association of young people with disabilities «Apparel». The text was written by academic staff of the Immanuel Kant State University of Russia.
The Guide has been coordinated and financially supported by: Nordic Council of Ministers Nordic, Centre for Welfare and Social Issues, The Information Office of the Nordic Council of Ministers in Kaliningrad.
