The Support Fund for Autistic Students
Additional resources for educational settings serving autistic students
Many special-education settings, especially those serving students with lower functional abilities, lack essential resources for developing students' capabilities: educational and therapeutic staff, paramedical therapists, and alternative communication tools such as iPads and eye-tracking systems. As a result, many students cannot realize their potential, and schools end up supervising more than developing and teaching.
Because the Ministry of Education limits parent payments, and some parents cannot fund the additions their children need, the fund raises donations to finance them and allocates resources to the school in coordination with the educational staff.
The venture is currently at pilot stage at the Even Chen school in Rosh HaAyin.
The venture's goal: finding additional funding sources for educational institutions serving autistic children.
