I have been most impressed with this facility - which is also impressive and that it has been given by the staff here - but the dedication and warmth the staff exercises to meet its responsibilities. People (staff) teach and give therapy from the heart.
My colleagues and I in America can learn much about giving language therapy, in providing programs and so on from what happens in this school. I am excited to share this information when I return to America. It is my intention to send VCR's and our speech therapists in private and public schools working with children and adults as well as copies of the teaching program from my university. In return I hope to secure the same impression from my Bulgarian colleagues. Perhaps we can share some of our technology and learn from each other.

Thank you for your Kindness and Respectability!

We took good impression of the organization of the schooling process. We were deeply touched by the hearty attitude to the children, the tactfulness of the teachers, the striving the best qualities of the children to be developed.
When we saw to the speech therapy process and the analysis of the lessons and logopedic knowledge we knew for sure that the staff was working creatively and has plenty of potential for future elaboration of their help towards children with speech defects and language problems. We saw the science of pedagogy of the cooperation in its best incarnation. We would like to give hope that our meetings will become a good tradition.

I agree fully with the education of the whole personality of the individual.
This I believe is crucial in education. I have discussed many common interests and philosophies. I have been most impressed and fascinated by what I have seen. I think the British and Bulgarian people share aims and ambitions in common, and I am most grateful for the knowledge I have been given whilst here. There are many more things I would like to know and discover.
The language and Psychology many boundaries!

Many thanks, much appreciation and good luck and fortune to all pupils.
I hope I may return to investigate some of the answers to my research questions!

Thank you!
