The project “Lullabies for Oleksa” is a comprehensive inclusive music therapy initiative that was started by Ukrainian singer Solomiya Chubai in 2016. The uniqueness of the project is that it is based on the real story and experience of the singer’s family, where a boy with autism was born. This is a project about children and for children, which draws attention to the problems of children with developmental disabilities and prefers to change the attitude towards their “otherness” in Ukrainian society. The primary mission of the project is to popularize a tolerant attitude towards people with ASD, the current mission of the project is the mental recovery of Ukrainian families from experiencing traumatic events as a result of the war in Ukraine.
