"Teacher, through the method you taught me, now the child can look at me!" "Teacher, recently children have been able to interact with me and play games." This is the conversation between Little A's mother and the therapist at the Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and such exciting news can be heard every day.
Xiao A, a child with severe autism, came to the Children's Rehabilitation Clinic of Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital for rehabilitation treatment two years ago. Through professional assessment and trial lessons, the therapist tailored a personalized rehabilitation training plan for Little A. At the beginning, Little A's blind crying in class, the board's hand movements, and endless shouting showed great discomfort. This state lasted for up to 2 months, and slowly through the active interaction and continuous guidance of the therapist, Little A gradually adapted to the classroom environment and the form of the class.
In the past two years, through professional training, uninterrupted class practice, and at the same time, with the active cooperation of parents, Little A has made great progress. Now Little A can not only greet people under the guidance of the therapist, play with peers and share toys, but also express self-needs, identify most of the daily necessities, and even independently complete self-care activities such as wearing shoes and eating, so that parents can see hope.
Children like Little A, who have undergone significant changes in the rehabilitation process of the Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital, abound. It is understood that the Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital was officially listed in September 2019, and when it was first established, there were only 4 rehabilitation therapists, and less than 30 children were recovered in the hospital. Although many parents come for their children, they choose other hospitals or private institutions to carry out rehabilitation training for their children because the waiting time is too long.
In order to improve the situation at that time, according to the requirements of the "Shenzhen Children's Psychological and Behavioral Problem Screening in the Intervention Project Work Guide" on improving the screening, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation system for children's psychological and behavioral problems, the Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital introduced a number of experienced, highly educated and high-quality therapists and purchased multiple sets of rehabilitation, teaching and evaluation tools in batches to meet the needs of special children's rehabilitation training. At the same time, in order to reduce the burden on the families of special children, the Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital actively applied, and became a unit of the Shenzhen Autism Diagnosis and Rehabilitation Specialist Alliance in August 2019, and successfully became a designated rehabilitation institution for the mental and intellectual categories of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation in July 2020.
After that, in order to better serve nearly 1,400 special children with rehabilitation needs in the jurisdiction, the Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital carried out rehabilitation inpatient wards, the rehabilitation treatment team changed the rehabilitation mode and added 10 staff members through the form of "purchasing services", which greatly reduced the waiting time of special children in line, so that more special children in need could get rehabilitation treatment at the first time. At present, the rehabilitation treatment of The Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the waiting time for scheduled classes has been shortened from the original 1 month to 2 months to 1 week to 2 weeks.
Guangming District Maternal and Child Health Hospital will continue to send health, warmth and care to women and children in the district in line with the purpose of "caring for the health of women and children, creating happiness and light", and the rehabilitation principle of "not giving up".
