Aleh C.A.R.E.S. Aleh Center for Advancement, Rehabilitation, and Education of Special-Needs Children Going to school is perhaps the most central activity in every child's life. Aleh's children, too, enjoy special education classes that include computer-assisted learning tools with specialized software, cognitive games, awareness of seasons and holidays, and various group therapies.

However, since Aleh's Beit Yahalom School is located in its residential facility, the 100 children of Aleh spend almost all of their time within the same four walls, severely compromising their quality of life. Aleh CARES is a rehabilitative special education daycare center being established in Pardes Katz, a 10-minute drive from Tel Aviv.

The new center will give Aleh's children the opportunity to leave home every day and travel to school, just like every other youngster. The spacious, quality environment will enable them to benefit from a more intensive, individualized rehabilitative program. At the same time, it will relieve the residential facility's crowded conditions.

The new complex will also offer a comprehensive educational and therapeutic framework for hundreds of children with milder disabilities from throughout the Gush Dan area of Israel. With no rehabilitative center on this scale in the entire area, many of these children are forced to travel for hours every day or forgo the framework they need to live productive lives. The goal of Aleh CARES is to help these children integrate into regular society as much as possible.

The complex's multi-faceted departments include early intervention programs, kindergartens, classes through high school, and individual rehab sessions throughout the day. Children will benefit from a custom-designed therapy plan including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, alternative communication, multi-sensory therapies, emotional therapy, and an intensive hydrotherapy program.

All activity will be under the supervision of a full-time medical staff and modern clinic. The rehabilitative special education complex's scope - including quality education, rehabilitation, medical care and hydrotherapy for over 200 children with various disabilities all under one roof - renders it unique in Israel and throughout the world.
