Are there accommodations made for the child with special learning needs?
There are several special education teachers on staff who work under the guidance of a supervisor to address the needs of the child who is challenged. An individualized program is designed for each student and a schedule is tailor made to insure that she is only pulled out of classes that she will not be held responsible for. The main teachers and the special ed. teachers are constantly in touch with each other in order to obtain maximum benefit from the program. In many cases, the fee for this service is partially subsidized. ***A message from the heart. If you are considering making Aliyah and your child is especially challenged and having a very difficult time coping in her learning environment where ever you currently live, it has been our experience that aliyah can be very traumatic for such a child. The change of language and expectations can be too much for her to handle. We strongly recommend asking a detailed shaila to a Rav who knows you when considering plans for Aliyah.
