Over 1300 children and families supported since 2010.
52% of children do not require therapy after leaving the service.
Parent Testimonial
“Immediately after our call, we were included in the ‘Early Intervention’ service. On the 16th day after our daughter’s birth, a team of specialists visited us at home.
A rehabilitation therapist, speech therapist, and psychologist gave us invaluable advice and guidance for Mikaela’s development. These were also the people who supported us in the most difficult moments.
With Karin Dom’s presence in our lives, Mikaela took her first steps at 1 year and 1 month old. This is an incredible achievement for a child with Down syndrome. At 6 months, Mikaela said “dada”, and at 7 months we heard her say “mama”.
Special thanks to the whole team, without whom Mikaela would not have achieved such great results!”
Silvena Hristova, Mikaela’s mother
The First Years Are Key
This is an opportunity for you, as parents, together with an early childhood development consultant, to respond in time and receive support if your baby or young child is experiencing delays or problems in their development.
Early intervention is intended for babies and young children from 0 to 3 years old:
Our team of early childhood development consultants has many years of experience and can visit you and your family at home, on the playground, or invite you to Karin Dom. The consultants will help you acquire knowledge and skills for games, exercises, and activities with your child that will stimulate their development.
Process
01Fill in a consultation request form
We will contact you within 5 working days after submitting the online request to schedule the first meeting. We use a family-oriented approach, where parents are given guidance and actively involved during each of our meetings.
02An early childhood development consultant will visit you at home
During our first meeting, we will assess the child’s development and the family’s needs. We will answer your questions and together discuss the necessity of further consultations and inclusion in the service.

If ongoing support is needed, the early childhood development consultants will prepare an individual programme and work with you and your child until the set goals are achieved.

Individual Approach
To be able to support more children through the service, the management of Karin Dom has introduced the option of paid consultations for children whose funding is insufficient.
Each first consultation with our team before including a child in the programme is charged according to the fees approved by Karin Dom.
