CAMP HACHSHARA-MOSHAVA OF NY INC

In conjunction with yachad, an organization dedicated to assisting individuals with disabilities and including them in the jewish community, the camp operates two significant special needs programs- one for children with special needs and the other for adults with special needs. The children's program integrates children with learning disabilities and other serious medical conditions such as asperger's syndrome into the typical camp educational setting with the assistance of supportive "shadow" staff who facilitate and promote meaningful socialization and inclusion. The adult program offers adults with special needs full time work positions in a sleep away educational environment. Male and female participants are supervised by a job coach/counselor and are placed in positions suitable to their abilities and their needs.
