Special Needs

"Teach a child in the way he or she should go"

                                                         Proverbs 22:6

ACAJE professionals consult with rabbis, educational directors, teachers and concerned lay people to initiate and/or enhance special education programs in preschools, synagogue, community, and day schools. They assist schools in determining appropriate programs, assessing and adapting available materials, and evaluating and updating teaching methods in light of the needs of the school’s particular population.

Workshops and seminars introduce educators to new methodologies and provide opportunities to consult with colleagues in the field.
