| School for Parents with Challenged Children |
| Our Parents School was established in 1995. It is open to all parents who have challenged children and is countrywide. Parents participate from Kibbutzim, Moshavim, towns, developing towns and community settlements. |
| The curriculum contains a large variety of subjects pertaining directly to the daily problems of parents who are bringing up a challenged child, from early years, through puberty, to old age. The parents are given an |
| unique opportunity to meet other parents with similar problems, to discuss their difficulties, challenges and solutions to problems and to learn from experts in various fields. |
| The lectures and workshops relate to all types of disabilities : physical, mental, rights and laws, different types of protected housing frames, rehabilitation, employment, sex education for the challenged, advocacy etc... At the end of each study day the parents leave the school with more knowledge about their children, available possibilities and feel strengthened to continue their daily battle with their problems at home. The study days are modularly planned, parents can choose a single lecture according to the type of disability of their child. We constantly endeavor to widen the span of the contents of the lectures and to reach more parents, especially in the periphery, we intend to turn the school into an open school for both Israeli and Arab parents, who have the same characteristics and problems. |
