LEVCHYK
SPECTRUM
HUB

A center for children with autism spectrum disorders who were forced to leave their homes due to hostilities and evacuate to Lviv.

Idea of creating LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB

All the turmoil that a child with autism spectrum disorders faces can seriously damage their sensitive psyche and cause a delay in development for years. During the war, for all of us, these were the explosions and bombs. And for a child with ASD, it's only a touch of a person or rearrangement in the room that feels like an explosion. Only they happen in their nervous system.

The Future for Ukraine Foundation opened LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB for children with autism spectrum disorders who were forced to leave their homes due to hostilities and evacuated to Lviv. We want to create a safe space for children in which they can develop, adapt to new conditions, and eventually integrate into society.

HOW LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB helps children with ASD

Individual approach

The program is designed for 12 months, which means 25 correctional sessions per month. The program is based on recommendation letters from the IRC, doctors, and testing conducted with the child in other institutions. Then, the program is approved by the parents

We report on the progress of the children to their parents every month. The reports are filled in based on metrics developed by our specialists.
