We wish you good health, of course,
You, disabled person - hold on!
How much whining we hear everywhere,
From those who do not know the taste of trouble,
If only they drank the fate of disabled people,
Such a hopeless and difficult fate!
For this reason, disabled people silently do not complain,
They quietly move towards their goals.
It’s not easy for them, but they got used to it, they endured it,
With the fact that not everyone shakes hands with them!
No one is safe from trouble,
Even those born are healthy here.
Let's help as much as we can,
To those whose life's path is thorny.
Don't be indifferent to people with disabilities
To those people crippled by fate.
Sometimes we don’t immediately see their pain,
It is enough to hear them sometimes.
A person's actions are glorified,
What shines in the eyes.
And may it add health to society
That help contained in deeds!
Anything is possible in life
We know firsthand.
Although it's hard to believe,
But we don't sit like mice.
We are active and smart
Let's throw off all the shackles in life.
Disabled person. Where should I go?
But we will laugh.
There is a place for happiness in life,
We do it here.
Understand that disability is not a death sentence,
This is a reason to be stronger in spirit!
Prove to the whole world: you are also a hero,
And everything else is rumors!

You always help with advice!
You see right through this whole world, strange,
There are no secrets from you in life!
Strong will, strong your spirit,
You strive for many things in life!
You will achieve your goal,
And you will be transformed again!
I don’t like the words “disabled” and “crippled.”
It's like it's a nuisance to society.
This strong people, we need to accept,
That we can only wish for their courage.
These people, who are at war with themselves every moment,
This is not a simple man, with a difficult fate.
I want to wish you from the bottom of my heart:
If you feel tired, wave your hand.
Wave at the difficulty, at the heaviness, at the pain.
You are great, you are brave, you are simply a hero.
We are all people on the planet.
So let's be with you
Be a little kinder
To those who are weaker than us in some way.
The main thing is inside, keep in mind,
And don't look at appearances.
We all want to fall in love
And work and study.
Let the one who is not like that
He will find happiness like anyone.
We need to be kinder to everyone
Whether he is similar to us or not,
To those who are weaker than you,
Who doesn't look healthy?
The light of the universe is in every heart,
The whole world is in everyone's eyes.
So open the doors in your souls,
Drive away evil and fear!
It happens that every step
It's very difficult
And what is a trifle for others,
For others it is a great torment.
They don't need pity at all
They are stronger in spirit!
You yourself do not whine, and do not whine -
They were able to win!
Disability Day is a reason to remember
About those who sometimes wait for help,
But he won’t ask about her out loud,
He's too proud, after all.
Your whole life is overcoming:
Yourself, ailments and systems!
It's not easy being disabled
You don't like these topics!
And every moment of a wonderful life,
This is not generally accepted!
You develop your mind
And bravely fight fate!
Like a label, like a mark, like a stamp,
It often hurts to hear this word!
“Disabled” and wrong a hundred times,
Who paid special attention?
Yes, the illness has bound you for a long time,
Maybe from birth
Everything in life was different from everyone else,
And learning became home.
Don't give up! And you don't whine
If you don't ask for mercy, it's useless!
Let your beautiful dreams come true!
Life will be extremely interesting!
Diagnosis. Hospitals. Analyzes.
Endless whirlpool
But the disabled person does not give up,
He lives in spite of prejudice.
Busy with social life
We strive to help many,
Although sometimes it's too bad
The night can be sleepless.
We wish you understanding,
Everyone around,
Find your calling
And joyful, pure laughter.
We are proud of you, you are strong people,
Even though your every day is not easy at times,
Let there be less worries in life,
Let the pain torment you less often!
We wish you peace, strength and patience,
So that someone can always support you nearby,
Today, on your holiday, leave your worries behind,
After all, holidays should be celebrated with joy!

Concept for the development of early assistance in the Russian Federation for the period until 2020
In 2016, for the first time, the Government of the Russian Federation approved the Concept for the development of early intervention in the Russian Federation for the period until 2020, as well as a plan for its implementation.
The concept is designed to create unified approaches to early assistance and combine the efforts of various departments (health, education, social protection).
The concept defines the circle of children who are offered early assistance. These are children aged from birth to 3 years with serious diseases or the risk of their development, children who are left without parental care, as well as children whose families are in a socially dangerous situation.
The starting point for early help will be identifying a problem in a child. Specialists in the field of healthcare, education and social protection, first of all, are medical and social workers, teachers, psychologists, defectologists, speech therapists, will have to identify such problems and promptly inform the early assistance system about the child’s illness or the risk of its development, about the unfavorable situation in the family. This message will give rise to interdepartmental work with both the child himself and his family. If a family becomes concerned about a child's development, parents can seek early help on their own.
The next step will be the development of an individual early intervention program for the child. The program, prepared on the basis of an assessment of the identified health problems of the child, will contain a specific set of services, the implementation of which will maximize the development of his potential.
At this stage, in order for parents to understand as fully as possible exactly how, where and when they can turn, their interaction with a specialist coordinator (case supervisor) will be ensured. He will accompany the family when receiving services, monitor the timeliness of program implementation and its adjustments, and inform about the prospects for organizing the family’s life.
An important aspect of the work will be the full participation of the family in the work of the team of specialists. The family is involved in the development and implementation of an individual program. At the same time, the team of specialists must respect the habits and views of the family, provide training (training) for family members in the skills of care, communication, education and upbringing of the child based on the characteristics of his development.
In addition to the individual early intervention program, the Concept provides for the development of recommendations for more long term up to the age of 7-8 years: on issues of adaptation, construction of an educational route, support.
As a result of the implementation of the Concept early help will become the initial link in the process of habilitation and rehabilitation of children with serious illnesses, when children are just developing basic skills, which will make this process more effective.
