During her first visits to the center, the girl displayed good manners and completed tasks assigned by the teachers. However, she was reserved and did not show much initiative. At the time, she had knowledge of all the letters and numbers but could not read or write. Her English proficiency was also zero. Work with a social worker helped her become more active, showing increased initiative and opening up gradually. It became evident that her introversion was connected to the events she experienced since the start of the war, indicating a need for further specialized assistance. With the teacher's support, she started reading syllables and gained knowledge of the English language through an interactive whiteboard. Her creative work and drawing skills also improved.
