Raising a special child?

Pen Icon Families of Jewish children with special needs-visual and hearing impairments, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, autism, physical challenge or developmental delays-are now coming forward in greater numbers and looking for the best opportunities for their child.

There is a growing awareness that Jewish children with disabilities must have equal access to spiritually rich and rewarding Jewish learning experiences.

Ever feel like you are the only one?

Jewish Family & Community Services has created a forum for parents of Jewish children with special needs to communicate with one another. Join the forum to make inquiries about the disability you wish to research, and the resources available, and touch base with other parents who are dealing with similar issues. This is also a venue to offer and receive valuable support, understanding, and ideas.
