Το Λόγου Χάριν είναι ένα Κέντρο Ανάπτυξης Λόγου, Κίνησης και Κοινωνικών Δεξιοτήτων στον Πειραιά, το οποίο ιδρύθηκε το 2007 από τη λογοπεδικό Βαρβάρα Ρούσσου. Η κα Ρούσσου έχει σπουδάσει Λογοθεραπεία στη Φλωρεντία και είναι κάτοχος MSc στην Ακοολογία - Νευροωτολογία από την Ιατρική Σχολή του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών, με συνεχή επιμόρφωση σε σύγχρονες θεραπευτικές μεθόδους και προσεγγίσεις.

Είναι εξειδικευμένη στις Νευροαναπτυξιακές Διαταραχές (Αυτισμός - ΔΕΠΥ), έχοντας παρακολουθήσει πλήθος μετεκπαιδεύσεων και έχοντας πιστοποιηθεί σε σύγχρονες μεθόδους και προσεγγίσεις. Έχει υπάρξει βασική εισηγήτρια στο παγκόσμιο συνέδριο του PAMA στη Νέα Υόρκη. Τέλος, είναι συντονίστρια Ειδικής Αγωγής στο International School of Piraeus.

Στο Λόγου Χάριν λειτουργεί μια διεπιστημονική ομάδα λογοθεραπευτών, εργοθεραπευτών, ψυχολόγων και ειδικών παιδαγωγών,η οποία παρέχει υπηρεσίες αξιολόγησης, θεραπευτικής παρέμβασης και συμβουλευτικής σε παιδιά, εφήβους και τις οικογένειές τους ακολουθώντας τις πιο σύγχρονες μεθόδους θεραπευτικής προσέγγισης στον χώρο της ψυχικής υγείας με ειδίκευση στις νευροαναπτυξιακές διαταραχές (αυτισμός, ΔΕΠΥ, δυσλεξία). 

Ειδικότερα, τo κέντρο διαθέτει υπηρεσίες λογοθεραπείας, εργοθεραπείας - αισθητηριακής ολοκλήρωσης, ειδικής διαπαιδαγώγησης, ψυχοθεραπείας παιδιών και εφήβων, ψυχοπαιδαγωγικό πρόγραμμα τόσο ατομικό όσο και ομάδες κοινωνικών δεξιοτήτων παιδιών και εφήβων αλλά και υπηρεσίες συμβουλευτικής.

Επιπλέον, στον χώρο πραγματοποιούνται ψυχομετρικές εκτιμήσεις (WISC-V, ερωτηματολόγια Achenbach, κλίμακα αξιολόγησης της ΔΕΠΥ) αλλά και προγράμματα μελέτης για παιδιά με μαθησιακές και άλλες δυσκολίες. Τέλος, πραγματοποιούνται διαδικτυακές συνεδρίες και συναντήσεις, γεγονός που εξυπηρετεί εκείνους που ενδιαφέρονται να συνεργαστούν με τον χώρο μας αλλά δεν μπορούν λόγω συνθηκών ή απόστασης.

Η Ρούσσου Βαρβάρα είναι επιστημονική υπεύθυνη του Λόγου Χάριν. Όπως λέει η ίδια: "Ο χώρος μας δημιουργήθηκε για να βρει στέγη και να πάρει μορφή η αγάπη μου για την εξέλιξη των ανθρώπων μέσα από την προσωπική τους έκφραση.

 Ο λόγος, η κίνηση, η κοινωνική διάδραση και το παιχνίδι αποτελούν το μονοπάτι για μια χαρούμενη, ελεύθερη, και ανεξάρτητη ζωή. Στο Λόγου Χάριν βοηθάμε παιδιά και εφήβους να καλλιεργούν τις δεξιότητές τους και να εκφράζουν τις σκέψεις, τα συναισθήματα και τα "θέλω" τους συνειδητοποιώντας την πολύτιμη μοναδικότητά τους."
