Venezuela Kalisher School
The Beit Venezuela-Kalisher School is an educational, therapeutic and rehabilitative facility for children and young adults with severe developmental, motor, neurological and cognitive disabilities. Many of the students who attend this school are wheelchair-bound and in constant need of personal care. Some are unable to speak and use special voice devices to communicate. Teachers and care-givers use a variety of approaches to cope with the complex requirements of each of the students. These begin at the sensory stimuli level and progress to the behavioral, emotional and cognitive levels.
