The JCC is dedicated to providing continued support for the integration of children, youth & teens with special needs into all of our JCC Departmental programs. The Inclusion Director will work with family members to create a successful experience.
Please Note: It is important to indicate your child may require an accommodation, in the corresponding box on the registration form for each program you register. Anita Lewis, Inclusion Director, will then contact you prior to the program beginning.

Special Programs
YOUTH DARKAYNU FOR GRADES K-12
Youth Darkaynu will reach out to Jewish students with autism, or any other diagnosed disabilities, who are unable to attend mainstream Jewish educational programming after all possible interventions have been attempted. Students will spend one hour in Judaic Studies and one hour engaging in social and recreational activities. A multisensory approach will be used to help all students learn and gain a feeling of connection to each other and to being Jewish.
