Biysk's new early intervention programme transforms support for young children

The Comprehensive Social Services Center in Biysk is rolling out a new early intervention programme for children aged 0 to 3. A dedicated room with specialised diagnostic tools and materials will support the initiative. Meanwhile, psychologist Margarita Suvorova continues her work helping children with special needs and their families—drawing on her own experience with cerebral palsy. Margarita Suvorova has spent over six years assisting children with developmental challenges and their parents. Her focus includes those with autism, the largest group she supports. She tailors her methods to each child’s age and needs, ensuring individual attention.

For teenagers seeking psychological help, confidentiality is strictly maintained. The young person decides whether to share any details with their parents. Suvorova builds trust by speaking to them as equals rather than taking an authoritative approach. Assessments at the centre often take several hours, as psychologists evaluate both the child and parental concerns before recommending further support. Suvorova also emphasises the importance of consistent practice at home for children with special needs. Beyond one-on-one sessions, she runs a women’s club where parents can unite, share experiences, and address challenges together.

The new early intervention room will provide younger children with targeted support from infancy. Suvorova’s work—rooted in personal experience—offers both practical guidance and emotional solidarity. The centre’s expanded services aim to strengthen assistance for families across all age groups.
