Currently, more than 200 children with disabilities are involved in the programme. The rehabilitation course can be taken at the Volgograd Academy of Physical Culture, as well as at home, using video lessons on YouTube.

Various rehabilitation programs are designed for children with cerebral palsy, damage to the musculoskeletal system, Down syndrome, autism, mental retardation, impaired intelligence, somatic diseases, and speech impairment.

From these video lessons people can learn effective and affordable exercises for their child, get some professional tips how to captivate and keep the interest of  children with spacial needs  in performing exercises.
