Autism Assistance Center Opens in Zhezkazgan for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
New Autism Support Center Opens in Jezkazgan, Kazakhstan
A new Support Center for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has opened its doors in Jezkazgan, Ulytau Region. The center, located at 62, Satpaev Street, 2nd floor, is a communal state institution designed to provide assistance to children with developmental challenges and their parents.
The establishment of the center was dictated by the current need, as parents in Jezkazgan previously had to travel to other cities to receive qualified assistance. Now, they can access such help locally, in their home city.
The center houses six specialized cabinets, each organized according to the concept of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Among the cabinets are the early support cabinet, the cabinet for developing learning skills, the cabinet for developing life skills, social and speech skills, sensory and play rooms, and the parents' support cabinet.
The parents' support cabinet provides psychological and consultative assistance to families raising children with ASD. After the initial consultation and assessment, an individual support and development program is created for each child. Each child works individually with eight clinical educators who are specially trained professionals. These professionals have undergone training and methodological courses at the leading Kazakhstani center 'Asyl Miras' and are proficient in modern correction and development methods that align with international standards.
The center is equipped with all necessary equipment to create favorable conditions for the children's development, education, and social adaptation. The center's operation is documented by the Press Service of the Ulytau Region Akimat.
The center accepts children based on a PMPC diagnosis of "Communication Disorder" and "Difficulties in Communication and Social Interaction". For more detailed and specific information on the center, including services offered, equipment available, and the admission process, contacting the Ulytau region local administration or local health/social service departments directly would be advisable.
The center's official Instagram page is @jzk_autism_center. The contact phone number for the center is 8 (705) 978-96-96.
While there are events and discussions in Kazakhstan related to supporting children with disabilities such as autism, mentioning expert talks and mentorship, these appear to be broader initiatives or conferences rather than a dedicated center in Jezkazgan. For local government support information, you can contact the Ulytau oblast via their official Instagram page, which is +7 (7102) 60-02-96, Jezkazgan, Alashahan 1.
