Partners with Parents would like to welcome all new Olim who arrived in
Israel over the summer. We hope you have managed to catch your breath and
settle your kids into school.
I would like to introduce you to Partners with Parents, a nonprofit
organization created to help kids and teen with LD/ ADHD and their parents.
Our staff of professionally trained specialists in learning disabilities,
special education and language development, are seasoned parents and
professionals.
We speak your language and have been through the aliyah process ourselves
and really understand the difficulties you are dealing with when trying to
make the right decisions for your struggling children. We are passionate
about working in partnership with you, to help your children and teens.
We have an array of services which involve working with parents, teachers,
schools, the Ministry of Education - and of course working with your kids.
BUT we have services specifically
designed with your needs in mind.
For new olim we will:
1) Hold your hand through the first year of aliyah as you learn to
understand how the Israeli school system works.
2) Help you navigate the regular education and special education systems
from Gan through High School.
3) Be your voice at school meetings, as you learn to advocate for your
child's educational needs.
4) Guide you in school placement decisions for your child with special
education needs.
5) Offer private remedial reading lessons which will teach your LD/ Dyslexic
child to read Hebrew.
We are based in Nofei Aviv, Beit Shemesh, but serve the Greater Beit Shemesh
- Modin communities.
Call today for an appointment! Our offices are located in Nofei Aviv, Beit
