ABOUT US
The mission of NGO ”IMAGO PLUS” is to help children with developmental disabilities to be properly educated in their mother tongue, to socialize in order to be more easily integrated into society and social life.
The vision of NGO ”IMAGO PLUS” is to help children with developmental difficulties to have equal education, to be educated and to be socialized.
IMAGO PLUS has successfully implemented several educational programs for children with developmental disabilities, organizing individual classes as well as individual groups. The beginning of the work of this association has started with 25-35 children, but many requests have increased the number of children every day, and now we have 86-100 children.
The age of children treated by IMAGO PLUS staff varies from 0 to 14 years.
IMAGO PLUS in the beginning of its activity operated in very narrow spaces, in the primary school "Kongresi i Manastirit". The Minister for Labor and Social Policy visited our center and appreciated our work, who enabled us to relocate to the Autism Day Center in Butel Municipality. Now, the facility in which we operate is over 500m2 with separate classrooms for the provision of individual psychological and speech therapy services, teamwork, playground and sensor integration room as well as space for physiotherapeutic services.
In addition to our services offered in the City of Skopje, we have expanded our service network to other municipalities in the Republic of North Macedonia. We have opened centers in the Municipality of Tetovo, Vrapciste and soon the IMAGO PLUS center will also be opened in the Municipality of Lipkovo.

In order for a child to receive treatment in our association, an assessment must first be made by our assessment team including:
After the evaluation, we provide data on the obstacles the child has and based on them, we develop an individual work plan.
Individual treatment is very important, including individual, preventive, corrective work based on the individual plan and program designed by the child's assessment of skills.
The most important part of being in a group is that you will not do everything yourself.
Stimulation, socialization as well as perfecting the social part is undoubtedly extremely
important in the development and livelihood of every child, and this group therapy with social workers is present in our center. By adapting to their same difficulties and mental age, useful group treatments are developed.
Individual and group sessions last 40 minutes and after each session, the parent receives
information about what has been done for 40 minutes and what to do at home.
