The SUVAG program was started 15 years ago in the small city of Yakutia, 7 thousand kilometers from Moscow, where the temperatures reach as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius (-58 F).  The founding principal of SUVAG is that of Petar Guberina, Khorvatioan professor, member of the Academy of Sciences and auther of the verbaltonal method.  This method is successfully used in many places including the USA, Great Britain, France, Belgium and Japan.

SUVAG works to cure 87 inhouse children and 33 children from surrounding schools in the Ukraine, Georgia, Turkmenia, Bashkiria, Altay and many other regions in Russia.

SUVAG uses music to develop and expand on what little hearing the students have and to help them in speech and psychic development.  Phonetic rhythmic and music stimulation helps these special students pick up sounds, inaudible under normal condeitions.
