Saint Martin’s Center eagerly helps people with disabilities
We invite children and adults with neurological and mental disorders or diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
The most important task of the Rehabilitation Space is to receive any disabled person who will contact us (regardless of age and social status), and to provide comprehensive professional assistance in accordance with the individual rehabilitation program (IPR).
In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.”

Our successes
Dima
My name is Tatiana, I am raising two wonderful sons, we live in the area of Fastiv, since 2016 we try every day to come from the village for rehabilitation to the Saint Martin Center. The most difficult thing for us is to get there in winter, because I have to go over 1.5 km to the bus stop, if it’s winter or ice, the bus may not come at all. My son needs rehabilitation all the time. The rehabilitation specialist – Ms. Olga, chose for us the optimal intensity and comprehensive rehabilitation. This year he began classes at the School of St. Martin. Since then, communication with other people has improved, and the vocabulary that previously had about 10 words increased significantly. Asked to repeat various words, he pronounces them very correctly (with syllables, vowels – some consonants are not yet pronounced). He learned new sounds, fulfills the instructions. He uses words more often than shouting. He became more durable in class. I really liked the way of learning alternately with exercises and socialization. Thank you!
Viktor
We live almost next to Kiev, 54 km from Fastiv, but every day we come to rehabilitation with our son. We see changes that make us very happy. Meeting with other mothers and conversations help us overcome everyday difficulties. Thank you for professional help and support for our family. We do not expect everything to change in one day, but we see Wiktor becoming calmer every day, overcoming difficulties and confidently moving forward with hope.
