Auerbach Central Agency for Jewish Education

Special Needs

"Every member of the people of Israel is obligated to study Torah - whether one is rich or poor, physically able or with physical disability." Mishne Torah, Hilhot Talmud Torah, chapter 10

ACAJE professionals consult with rabbis, educational directors, teachers and concerned lay people to initiate and/or enhance special education programs in preschools, synagogue, community, and day schools. They assist schools in determining appropriate programs, assessing and adapting available materials, and evaluating and updating teaching methods in light of the needs of the school’s particular population.

Workshops and seminars introduce educators to new methodologies and provide opportunities to consult with colleagues in the field.
