There are a lot of success stories, and everyone can create one!
On November 7, on the platform of the Rubtsovsk Institute (branch) of Altai State University, a workshop for parents “My success story. Modern technologies that helped us”. The main speaker at the seminar was Marina Chaplygina, a well-known all over Russia in the circles of parents of children with disabilities, "solar" mother, Chairman of the Altai regional public organization Solar Circle. For any parent and specialist, communicating with Marina always means not only touching the success story, but also feeling the desire, and most importantly, the strength to follow a successful trajectory and lead others. It is enough to look at the reviews of the seminars that Marina Ivanovna conducts throughout Russia - and everything will immediately become clear.
Marina Chaplygina is a teacher with many years of experience, a specialist in working with the Numikon methodology and is just a treasure trove of professional, maternal and personal successful experience, which she generously shared at the seminar of the project “I can learn!” The meeting lasted almost four hours, but it passed, as they say, "in one go", so at the end of the seminar, those present did not want to leave, and almost 300 YouTube users from all over the country left numerous enthusiastic reviews, comments and questions. An accessible presentation of the main provisions of the methodology of teaching mathematics and counting, vivid examples, a colorful presentation, demonstration of many manuals and games that Marina, like a magician, took out of her "magic" suitcase, kept the attention of both those present in the audience and those who connected to the broadcast online.
What is Marina's secret of success? The fact that her "sunny" daughter, 12-year-old Varvara, helped her mother at the seminar yesterday, performing mathematical calculations on a flipchart and demonstrating the techniques of working with Numikon? It seems that this is not the main thing. The success story of this family lies in the fact that the result they achieved thanks to their hard daily work, constant self-education and the search for new ways of development, not only destroys the stereotypes prevailing in society about Down syndrome and the possibilities of "sunny" children, but also inspires each parent, who has a special child in his family, shows the opportunity for each family to create their own successful story, gives faith in their own strengths and in the effectiveness of those methods and techniques that are designed to help in this.
