RAISING UP CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
There is not one mold for all children. Unfortunately, circumstances or tragedies can leave children struggling. Karnei Shomron, an exemplary community where every child matters, is a leader in the field of supplemental education and family resources, actively practicing prevention, early intervention, and treatment instead of waiting to take action when a child is already in crisis.
Not every child adjusts easily to a traditional school, but sometimes all a struggling child needs is a trained professional to identify a specific weakness and offer the corrective tools to help the child thrive. Mafteach is the center for special education in Karnei Shomron. The center offers a wide array of specialists, including occupational, speech, and emotional therapy for children with learning, behavioral, speech, or motor challenges. Focusing on early intervention and in coordination with local schools, the center facilitates integration into mainstream classrooms when possible and provides parents with the resources they need to support their children’s progress. This year, Mafteach is moving to a new facility and needs your help to equip the new space. Additionally, there is an ongoing need for continuing education courses for its staff.
