Tell us about your professional interests other than your specialization:

• “I am interested inDIR/Floortime. FLOORTIME is designed for autists, children with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), children with cerebral palsy and all other children with difficulties in attention, communication, difficulties in processing sensory information. Flotime is NOT about parenting or forced learning, NOT about teaching a child to listen to adults, but about creating warm emotional contact and trust in the world so that the child himself takes an interest in others. Floortime classes develop in the child: skills of self-regulation (the ability to be calm and balanced) and attention; interaction and relationships with others; symbolic and logical thinking, creativity. This precedes normal academic teaching (reading, writing, knowledge). I am also interested in psychiatry and psychotherapy."

• “My interests and hobbies are conscious consumption, ZeroWaste, mosaic painting, long walks, camping. From literature I love books by Robert Sapolsky, Ray Bradbury and Victor Pelevin."

Doctor's advice:
