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. Between unpacking your lift and preparing
for the chagim, try to take a moment to anticipate your children's
educational needs.
If you have a child or teen with any type of learning disability - then it
is very important to set them up for success NOW - because they will
definitely need the extra support and help now that they will be going to
school in a different language.
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 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 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.
5) Offer private remedial reading lessons which will teach your LD/ Dyslexic
