The Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine, Denys Uliutin, together with his deputies Tetiana Kirienko and Anatolii Komirnyi, visited our LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB in Mykolaiv as part of a working visit to Mykolaiv region. LEVCHYK was among the social facilities the delegation toured while getting acquainted with the city's social protection system.
The center opened in November 2025 in partnership with Mykolaiv City Council, thanks to grants from Nova Ukraine and Ecolab, and the ongoing support of project patron Vadym Stolar. Today, 36 children with autism spectrum disorders attend the centre in Mykolaiv — and since its opening, 2,242 specialised sessions have already been conducted. Speech therapy, sensory integration and ABA therapy help children master foundational skills, adapt to everyday life, and develop independence and social interaction. Beyond sessions for children, the center is also nurturing a special community for parents, where families raising children on the spectrum can share experiences and support one another.
The minister spoke with the teaching staff, attended sessions, and saw the center's life from the inside. For us, this visit indicates that we are moving in the right direction. Our little lions leave no one indifferent 🦁
