In the Home for mentally challenged children and youth in Sremcica there are about 300 young people and children. The residents are divided into
three separate buildings, twenty different groups, according to sex, capability and age. Their teachers and trainers also work with them according
to the plan and programme of the School of Defectology: pedagogist - 12, defectologist - 10 and one logoped.
Home has its own medical service, technical service, bookkeeping service, economy, workshops and bakery. In addition, it has a sports facility,
a playground for children as well as a special facility for physiotherapy. One more additional aspect of the work and recreation for protégées, is
a camp facility on the Montenegrin Coast, where the children and residents have the opportunity to get away from the daily routines and have a summer
holiday. For the winter season Home uses a camp on the Kosmaj mountain near Belgrade.
Some of the residents and children are actively involved in the work on the farm, which has proven to be a very good form of work therapy for the
participants. Besides the farm and bakery department, our workshops play a very important role as the handicrafts produced there can be purchased by third parties.
