Experience with children with autism since 2011. Participates in conferences, distance and face-to-face trainings, seminaries and master classes on the development of children with ASD and applied behavior analysis.

Until the age of 26, I did not connect life with teaching children with autism and knew nothing about them. Every year I played a huge number of concerts and was quite successful in musical career. However, in 2011, my son Egor was diagnosed with autism. Attempts to find high-quality training for him in Chisinau were unsuccessful. We were forced to contact specialists from neighboring countries, for classes with Egor and our own training. As a result, together with Maria Zotti, also the mother of a child with autism, we managed to create and train a team to work with our children, as well as start helping other children in Moldova. So in 2017, the correctional ABA center Alegor was born. Thanks to the fact that the center is run by specialists who are also parents, we manage to maintain the right balance in the education of children, which is so necessary for families raising children on the spectrum. We know the whole life of parents and the specifics of the work of specialists. Our main pride is a team of high-class specialists. Every day they give themselves to this difficult work and, together with their parents, rejoice in any achievement of each child.
