Therapeutic Programs

​

​

​

ELEPAP offers a series of programs of holistic intervention for children from infancy to school age. It constantly monitors international scientific developments, organizes and participates in scientific conferences and fora, ensuring in this way that it adheres to international standards, adopts and implements the latest methods of treatment. To ELEPAP, holistic intervention places emphasis on the participation of parents in the training programs, that provides them with an array of resources to help them develop the skills necessary to cope with the situation at hand and further add to the growth of their young-lings. Counseling the parents is an integral part of ELEPAP's rehabilitation programs since they play a vital role in their upbringing, and having acquired professional insight on how to facilitate learning experiences is of highest importance. This level of support and engagement creates a strong alliance between staff, each child and its family, which is a core principle of ELEPAP's engagement culture. Our programs are carried out in a climate of altruism, cooperation and trust, as we strive to offer the most inclusive care-giving family-oriented packages.

      Branches

​

ELEPAP operates six fully equipped centers in Greece, Athens, Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Chania, Volos and Agrinio, with highly scientifically specialized personnel. ELEPAP addresses all the developmental needs of each child with motor and developmental difficulties in a holistic approach fostering psychomotor development functionality, independence, speech and communication, cognitive abilities, emotional and psychosocial

adjustment, learning skills, education, and social integration. 

 

​

​

​

​

​

The aim of all programs and interventions at ELEPAP is the reinforcement of motor, sensory, verbal, cognitive, social, emotional, and intellectual development.

Through ELEPAP programs, personal sessions are combined with group activities, entertainment and play are included in functional rehabilitation, and the psycho-pedagogical approach coexists with medical monitoring. 

​

We are committed to offer families and children a way out of the stress and anxiety that comes with the reality of caring for a loved one with diminishing abilities, especially those with intellectual disabilities, which are usually perilously marginalized. We work to create a new reality of social inclusion and integration. People with disability are integral part of our society, and caring for them is a learning and humbling experience. 

​

 

 

It brings us joy and fulfillment. There is no bigger reward than caring for the ones in need, and knowing that our work is like planting acorns, that will one day allow for lustrous oak trees to blossom.
