BUDAPEST, Hungary: More than a year after fleeing from Ukraine to Hungary with her autistic son Roman, Iryna Bryk has still not found suitable therapy for her nine-year-old.

'They only speak Hungarian in public institutions and there are few places,' the 31-year-old teacher from Cherkasy in central Ukraine told Agence France-Presse.The Bryks are not alone in their struggle.An estimated 12 percent of families fleeing Ukraine include a member with a disability, according to a recent survey by the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR.

'They cannot adapt to local schools due to their disorders and lack of language knowledge,' Andriichuk told AFP in Budapest during a project meeting.So far, some 40 Ukrainian refugee families in Hungary have expressed interest in joining her program, which is seeking charity donations to fund the recruitment of specialists.One of those keen on the program — called AKSEN — is refugee Yuliia Stavytska. Her daughter Daryna, 6, has sensory-motor alalia, a speech disorder.
