What I enjoy most about this work is the great joy clients get from even the small steps in communication that they are able to achieve. The moments when I can show parents that their child understands speech, just needs to calm down and we need to give them a way to express themselves are worth it."

Speech Therapy

Graduate of the Institute of Psychological and Speech Therapy Studies at the Pedagogical Faculty of the Charles University in Bratislava, majoring in speech therapy. Practice since 2013. Speaks English, Russian, passive French.

"Speech therapy has always been a very attractive field for me because it stands at the intersection of interesting sciences, such as medicine, psychology, pedagogy and linguistics - and is therefore a multidisciplinary field. And what is essential for me personally, the work of a speech therapist requires, in addition to professional knowledge, a human dimension, because behind every client - whether a child or an adult - there is a specific life story with fears for the future, but also small or bigger victories over oneself. As a speech and language therapist, I am happy to be of help to them on this, often difficult, life journey."

"I've always wanted to work with people, to create something creative and to see the results of my work at the same time. In "speech therapy" it is necessary to combine theoretical knowledge with practical ones and to find creative ways to help every day. It is exhausting, tricky and long-term work, but the feeling of satisfaction is all the more intense when the desired results, even if only small progress, are achieved. My dream was to have a job that would also be my hobby . I am happy that I have succeeded in realizing it. Working with people fulfils me."

"What I enjoy most about my job is the contact with the patient. When we feel we understand each other, we are open and ready to listen to each other. During art therapy we create and use different techniques and materials. The patient chooses what they want to present to the world today and how they will do it. There is no right or wrong here. It is moods, emotions, experiences told through sand, paint, plasticine ... . I like how some of the components of the art therapy method can be beautifully applied in special education classes."

"I came into contact with physiotherapy through sport. I started working with neurorehabilitation during my undergraduate internship. It's a very interesting field for me. It's not just working and exercising with the muscles themselves, but also working with such a sensitive organ as the brain and nerves. What I love about my job is that I can help, explain and pass on knowledge to those who need it the most. The greatest satisfaction is when I see that people accept the help and try to follow the path we show them."

"I love working and interacting with people and also the need to help those who deserve it the most. This job has taught me to enjoy ordinary things like getting up in the morning and going to work or just "wiping my ass" which is an impossible activity for many others. I love being able to help people to at least partial self-care and other lost abilities integrating them back into the places they used to love."

"Fate led me to work with handicapped children, that's when I decided to study physiotherapy. I worked as a physiotherapist with older children and adults for several years. The turning point in my life was the birth of my twin sons. As they were born prematurely, a round of examinations, uncertainty and daily exercise and stimulation began. After returning from maternity leave in 2013, I therefore started to focus more intensively on physiotherapy for young children under 3 years old. Working with young children is fascinating to me. The child's central nervous system is still developing and we can influence, reverse and save a lot with our techniques and experience. Giving someone hope for a better quality of life is always meaningful to me."

Although it is sometimes very exhausting mentally or physically, the resulting help to clients always energizes me.

In this work, it is nice to see how the influence of exercise makes people learn to feel their body and use it properly.
