Building A Brighter Future for Special Needs Children

We believe that every special needs child deserves appropriate, individual treatment in order to guarantee

their best possible advancement into society.

Dear Friend,

The life of a child with special needs is filled with appointments. Sadly, it is also filled with disappointments. Often it seems that no one cares other than therapists, there are no calls, no visits, and no

interaction with anyone but family…

We now have a cure for loneliness:

Shlavim CenterOur unique formula unites teenage volunteers, therapists, families and special children in a special relationship that deeply enriches all involved. Through a wide range of innovative programs and creative

activities, all under one roof, they share fun, learning and love :

Children with disabilities receive warmth and love, a feeling of belonging, special education and modern medical treatment.

Parents enjoy the regular respite they need to recharge and refresh themselves through the knowledge that their children are in professional, caring hands.

Teenagers become sensitized, enriched and empowered to become leaders.

What is the Shlavim Center?
