Αγαπητοί μας γονείς,

Θα θέλαμε να σας ενημερώσουμε ότι το Κέντρο μας έχει ξεκινήσει και πάλι την λειτουργία του.

Πρέπει όλοι μας να είμαστε πολύ προσεκτικοί για να αποφύγουμε τυχόν διάδοση του ιού COVID-19.Όσον αφορά το Κέντρο μας, θα ακολουθήσουμε τα παρακάτω:

1. Οι συνεδρίες είναι εξατομικευμένες με την παρουσία μόνο του παιδιού και του θεραπευτή στην αίθουσα.
2. Κατά τη διάρκεια της συνεδρίας γίνεται χρήση μάσκας και γαντιών μιας χρήσης. Οι αίθουσες αερίζονται και μετά το πέρας κάθε θεραπείας γίνεται απολύμανση των επιφανειών και των καθισμάτων.
3. Είναι πολύ σημαντικό να μην υπάρχουν καθυστερήσεις, έτσι ώστε να μην συγχρωτίζονται στον χώρο πολλά άτομα αλλά και για να προλαβαίνουν οι θεραπευτές να κάνουν τις παραπάνω διεργασίες.
4. Στην είσοδο υπάρχει για άμεση χρήση αντισηπτικό αλκοολούχο διάλυμα. Συνίσταται καλό τρίψιμο των χεριών μέχρι να στεγνώσει το αντισηπτικό.   
5. Με την είσοδο στο χώρο του Κέντρου μας , παρακαλούμε να πλένετε άμεσα και πολύ σχολαστικά τα χέρια στα παιδιά σας.
6. Αποφεύγουμε τις άσκοπες μετακινήσεις μέσα στο χώρο.
7. Σε περίπτωση που το παιδί δεν νιώθει καλά, ενημερώνουμε έγκαιρα τον θεραπευτή και ζητάμε την ακύρωση του ραντεβού.

Είμαστε στη διάθεση σας να συζητήσουμε οποιοδήποτε προβληματισμό σχετικά με τα παραπάνω μέτρα και να θέσουμε και επιπλέον μέτρα αν νιώσουμε ότι χρειάζεται.

Είμαστε μαζί σε όλο αυτό και θα βγούμε όλοι μαζί πιο δυνατοί.

Με εκτίμηση,

Μαθαίνω Παίζοντας

Είναι λογικό οι γονείς και οι κηδεμόνες παιδιών και εφήβων με διάφορες αναπτυξιακές και άλλες δυσκολίες να μην έχουν πάντα τις απαραίτητες πληροφορίες για να κρίνουν ποιος χώρος είναι ο πλέον κατάλληλος για να καλύψει τις ανάγκες τους. Εμείς, λοιπόν, θα σας παρουσιάσουμε εν συντομία τα στοιχεία που μας διαφοροποιούν:

-           Ειδικευόμαστε στις αξιολογήσεις και στις διαγνώσεις παιδιών που γίνονται με έγκυρα και σταθμισμένα διαγνωστικά εργαλεία. Δεν είναι τυχαίο ότι η δρ Ευφροσύνη Καλύβα είναι επιστημονική συνεργάτης της Α’ Παιδιατρικής Κλινικής του Ιπποκράτειου Νοσοκομείου Θεσσαλονίκης και έχει τεράστια κλινική εμπειρία. Τα αποτελέσματα αυτών των διαγνώσεων χρησιμοποιούνται και για τον σχεδιασμό εξατομικευμένων θεραπευτικών προγραμμάτων αλλά και για την παρακολούθηση της εξέλιξης του παιδιού.

-           Παράγουμε και δεν αναπαράγουμε απλώς γνώση. Αν διαθέσετε τον χρόνο να ρίξετε μια ματιά στην κατηγορία δημοσιεύσεις στην ιστοσελίδα μας, θα δείτε ότι έχουμε γράψει βιβλία στα Ελληνικά και στα Αγγλικά, κεφάλαια σε βιβλία και άρθρα σε ξενόγλωσσα επιστημονικά περιοδικά με κριτές. Ένα κομμάτι αυτής της δουλειάς έχει γίνει σε συνεργασία με έγκριτους πανεπιστημιακούς τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και στο Εξωτερικό. Το βιβλίο της δρ Ευφροσύνης Καλύβα για τις εκπαιδευτικές και θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις στον αυτισμό που κυκλοφορεί και στα Αγγλικά από το 2011 αναγορεύτηκε πρόσφατα από την Αμερικάνικη Ένωση Βιβλιοθηκών ως ένα από τα 12 βιβλία της τελευταίας 10ετίας για τον αυτισμό που θα πρέπει κάποιος να διαβάσει. Πολλά αποσπάσματα από το συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο φιλοξενούνται αυτούσια και σε σχετικές ιστοσελίδες (www.autismgreece.gr). Έχουμε συμμετάσχει επίσης σε περισσότερα από 100 Ελληνικά και διεθνή επιστημονικά συνέδρια με προφορικές εισηγήσεις (συχνά ως προσκεκλημένοι ομιλητές).

-           Επιμορφώνουμε γονείς, εκπαιδευτικούς και άλλους επαγγελματίες ψυχικής υγείας. Εδώ και 15 χρόνια συμβάλλουμε στην επιμόρφωση με ημερίδες, εργαστήρια, ομιλίες, εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα και ποικίλες άλλες δράσεις τόσο στην Θεσσαλονίκη όσο και σε άλλες πόλεις της Βόρειας Ελλάδας. Η δρ Ευφροσύνη Καλύβα ήταν Αναπληρώτρια Καθηγήτρια ψυχολογίας σε προπτυχιακό και μεταπτυχιακό επίπεδο από το 2000  έως και το 2017 στο Διεθνές Τμήμα του Πανεπιστημίου του Sheffield, CITYCOLLEGE. Δίδαξε στο Διδασκαλείο Γληνός δασκάλους ειδικής αγωγής από το 2002 έως και το 2012 που έκλεισε πλέον το τμήμα και υπήρξε λέκτορας με καθεστώς ΠΔ/407 στο τμήμα Εκπαιδευτικής και Κοινωνικής Πολιτικής του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας όπου δίδαξε και σε προγράμματα εξειδίκευσης 300 ωρών.

-           Σταθμίζουμε εργαλεία πρώιμης ανίχνευσης αναπτυξιακών διαταραχών στην Ελλάδα. Ο καθηγητής Matson από το Πανεπιστήμιο της Λουιζιάνα μας επέλεξε για να σταθμίσουμε στα Ελληνικά το BISCUIT και το πανεπιστήμιο του Γκέτενμπουργκ στην Σουδία για να σταθμίσουμε το ATAC. Αυτό είναι πολύ τιμητικό για εμάς εφόσον έχουν επιλεχθεί ελάχιστοι επιστήμονες σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο και αποτελεί μια σημαντική διάκριση με την οποία θα βοηθήσουμε έμπρακτα τα παιδιά με αναπτυξιακές δυσκολίες και τις οικογένειές τους.

-           Έχουμε λάβει επιδοτήσεις από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση για να διεξάγουμε έρευνα σχετικά με τα δικαιώματα των παιδιών. Κάποια από τα προγράμματα αυτά έχουν ολοκληρωθεί ενώ άλλα είναι σε εξέλιξη και έχουμε συν-γράψει και έναν οδηγό στα Ελληνικά για το πως μπορούμε να προσεγγίσουμε παιδιά και νέους που έχουν βιώσει βία και παραμέληση.

-           Επιδεικνύουμε ευθύνη προς την κοινωνία προσφέροντας τις υπηρεσίες μας δωρεάν σε συλλόγους που ασχολούνται με το παιδί καθώς και σε ορισμένους γονείς που δεν έχουν την οικονομική δυνατότητα να παρέχουν τις απαραίτητες υπηρεσίες στα παιδιά τους.

Όλα τα παραπάνω αποτελούν μια έξωθεν μαρτυρία για την ποιότητα των υπηρεσιών που παρέχουμε και έχουν τύχει ευρείας αναγνώρισης και από την διεθνή επιστημονική κοινότητα. Είναι επίσης αυτό που μας κάνει διαφορετικούς.

Προβλήματα Συμπεριφοράς

Πολλά παιδιά προσχολικής και σχολικής ηλικίας εκδηλώνουν προβλήματα ανεπιθύμητης ή ανάρμοστης συμπεριφοράς, τα οποία ορισμένες φορές μπορεί να οφείλονται στην έλλειψη ορίων από το περιβάλλον και στην προσπάθεια του παιδιού να τραβήξει την προσοχή. Οι γονείς πρέπει να αρχίσουν να ανησυχούν όταν η κατάσταση του παιδιού τους ξεφεύγει από τα όρια σε τέτοιο βαθμό, ώστε να εμποδίζει την ομαλή λειτουργία της οικογένειας και να οδηγεί το παιδί σε προβληματικές διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις. Το ποσοστό των παιδιών που παρουσιάζουν ήπια ή πιο σοβαρά προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς ανέρχεται στο 7-9% του μαθητικού πληθυσμού και η διάγνωση γίνεται κυρίως με κλίμακες που καλούνται να συμπληρώσουν οι γονείς και οι εκπαιδευτικοί. Και εδώ χρειάζεται ιδιαίτερη προσοχή για την ποιοτική αξιολόγηση των συμπεριφορών, ώστε να δοθεί μία σωστή διάγνωση προβλημάτων συμπεριφοράς.

Τα συμπτώματα που εκδηλώνουν τα παιδιά με προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς είναι τα ακόλουθα:

 1)    Τα παιδιά αρνούνται να συμμορφωθούν με κανόνες και να υπακούσουν είτε τους γονείς τους είτε άλλους ενήλικες.

2)   Τα παιδιά έχουν μία έντονη αρνητική διάθεση για να συνυπάρξουν και να συνεργαστούν με άλλους ανθρώπους, με αποτέλεσμα να δημιουργούνται συχνά έντονοι καβγάδες.

3)   Τα παιδιά με προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς προκαλούν συχνά και είναι ιδιαίτερα αντιδραστικά, ενώ συνηθίζουν να λένε ψέματα για να αποφύγουν την τιμωρία.

4)   Εκδηλώνουν έντονη επιθετικότητα σε ανθρώπους και ζώα και προβαίνουν συχνά σε φθορά ή καταστροφή ξένης περιουσίας.

5)   Εμπλέκονται συχνά σε απάτες ή κλοπές αντικειμένων, η αξία των οποίων αυξάνει ανάλογα με την ηλικία τους, με αποτέλεσμα να έχουν προβλήματα με τον νόμο.

Πρέπει να σημειωθεί ότι ο βαθμός στον οποίο εκδηλώνονται οι προαναφερθείσες συμπεριφορές διαφέρουν από παιδί σε παιδί (και ενίοτε από πλαίσιο σε πλαίσιο) και για τον λόγο αυτό είναι απαραίτητο να γίνεται σωστή αξιολόγηση και διάγνωση με τα κατάλληλα εργαλεία και την ενεργό συμμετοχή των γονέων του παιδιού.
