Somers Yad Hebrew School for Children with Differing Abilities<\/strong>, we are bringing the richness of Jewish heritage to students with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Down Syndrome and other developmental disorders. Classes offer a 1:1 ratio of teachers and volunteers to students. <\/span><\/p>\n In 2017, in collaboration with our local partners, we launched the community-wide Day of Awareness<\/strong> conference, providing special needs education training and resources to educators, and practical steps for inclusion of disabled students to synagogues and schools.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n “He\u2019s learning about his Jewish heritage,<\/strong> certain holidays and prayers, and it brings a lot of joy to his life.
