Usharik in Rehabilitation Center of St. Petersburg Research Institute of Ear, Nose, Throat and Speech

On November 25 in the Rehabilitation Center of the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Ear, Nose, Throat and Speech was held a warm family event where the “Usharik” storybook character’s figure was presented to the Institute in honor of its 95th anniversary.
The St. Petersburg Research Institute of Ear, Nose, Throat and Speech opened an additional rehabilitation center in 2024. For the short time, the center has become an important place of support for the families with hearing impaired children.  Here, comprehensive rehabilitation, speech, auditory-verbal therapy and social programs are provided aimed at the children’s adaptation and inclusion into the full life of the city.

From this day on, Usharik will become not only a bright art object and a photo spot, but will also play an important role in the cozy rehabilitation center of the Institute, bringing joy to toddlers, volunteers, doctors, and the center’s visitors.
