The Humanitarian Foundation BUDI HUMAN – Aleksandar Šapić

is raising funds for Dušan (2017) and Pavle (2020) Paskuči.

Dušan has been diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder from the autism spectrum (F84 Disordines evolutionis pervasivi). The first signs of developmental delay appeared around his first year of life- his speech did not develop, pointing and waving gestures were absent, eye contact was weak, and his play was limited. Dušan has been attending speech therapy since 20 months of age, as well as sensory integration therapy, hydrotherapy, and physical therapy due to scoliosis. Genetic and laboratory tests, a brain MRI, and EEG have been performed. Today, he understands more instructions and establishes better contact, but he still has no speech and is not fully independent. The family also takes him abroad for rehabilitation therapies, which show positive results and must be repeated regularly.

Pavle has been diagnosed with a mixed specific developmental disorder (F83 Disordines evolutionis specifici mixti). His psychomotor development progressed normally until 1.5 years of age, when regression occurred - speech did not develop, he lost pointing gestures, became hyperactive, and began refusing food. He attends special education therapy three times a week, and genetic testing has been completed. Pavle now shows better understanding, has improved in communication and independence, but still does not form sentences and his speech is unclear. He is also included in spa-based rehabilitation.

To continue their ongoing therapies, the family needs the support of all humane people through donations, as they are no longer able to cover the costs on their own.

Funds are needed for therapeutic exercises and massages, hippotherapy, hydrotherapy, and special education treatments.

For Dušan and Pavle! Let’s be humane!
