The “Portage” methodology is an accurate, simple, universal technology of individual work with children, which makes it possible to teach life

organizations, and the methodological materials Portage formed the basis of the early assistance system. The Association of Specialists was registered in 2021
Portage in Russia.
In 5 regions of Russia, with the support of the Diema’s Dream Fund, 15 Portage teams work and there is a unique experience in applying the methodology in
work with children with severe psychophysical developmental disorders, who were considered “hopeless” and “unteachable.”
Thanks to the lessons, these children, previously considered “hopeless and hopeless”, learned how to wash and dress, drink and eat,
sit, stand and walk, assemble constructors, draw and cut, distinguish colors, recognize objects, count, look at books, and
mastered many other motor and cognitive skills, skills from the sphere of self-service. In children, the formation and
development of speech, and active socialization – they began to communicate and play with each other and with adults, get acquainted with the world around them, went out
from their chambers and began to walk in the street.
