Graduation: Specialist
Superpower: Seeing a person in a child and step by step leading to a tangible result. Svitlana knows how to notice even the smallest successes of a child and turn them into a powerful motivation for further development.
What is most important in working with children: For me, the direct and tangible result of work is extremely valuable. The first independently uttered word, sound, mastered graphomotor skill or conscious "Give me!" are those moments that fill the work with meaning and confirm its significance. I am convinced that behind each feature there is a unique personality that needs to be accepted, supported and helped to reveal itself.
In my free time, I like to draw and spend time with my family. Creativity helps me restore my inner resource, and family vacations help me maintain emotional balance, which is so important in working with children with special educational needs.

Від батьків:
- “Svetlana is an incredibly attentive and sensitive specialist. We remember the moment when the child first consciously said a word, and she was there at this important time. For our family, this is invaluable.”
- “Classes with Svetlana are held in a very calm and supportive atmosphere. She knows how to rejoice even in the smallest successes of the child and conveys this faith to the parents. We see progress and are sincerely grateful for her work.”
- “What we appreciate most about Svetlana is that she sees a personality in our child, not a diagnosis. Her approach helped not only in the development of speech, but also in the formation of confidence and a desire to interact with the world.”
