Sulam Centers

Sulam oversees a network of 90 classes, in 15 branches located in Jerusalem, Bet Shemesh, Kiryat Yearim and Modiin Ilit. 856 staff members give of their best to our 713 children, ranging in age from 6 months to 17 years of age.

Communication Centers

Sulam’s Communication Centers service children, ages 6 months to 17 years, with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), PDD and other communication difficulties. Our goal is to open the world of communication for each of these children, improve their social interactions, limit repetitive and other behaviors and bring out their maximum potential in all areas of development.

The children benefit from a comprehensive therapy program. Professionals in the fields of Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy, Psychology, and Social work, Hydrotherapy and more give their best for the children in their care. Additionally specially trained therapists work with each child entering the child’s world by means of the DIR Floortime model. DIR Floortime is a therapy that works on expanding the children’s circles of communication by meeting them on their level and building on their strengths.

Day Schools

Sulam’s Day Schools service girls ages 6 – 17 with learning disabilities, and emotional, behavioral, and mental delays who may not fit into mainstream education due to their complex needs. Students are lovingly taught in small classes and are given individual and group therapy including Physical, Occupational, Speech and Animal Therapy. Sulam’s unique approach is to focus on life skills encouraging responsibility, and commitment and promoting independence, integration and social skills.

Girls from Sulam attend classes in the regular education schools nearby to facilitate mainstreaming. Additionally high school students are trained for work with children and in the kitchen and laundry room of the Daycare Center. An average of 15% of our graduates is able to take their matriculation exams and find jobs upon their graduation.

Early Intervention Day Care

Sulam’s Early Intervention Daycare Centers, services children ages 6 months to 3 years with various syndromes and developmental and communication delays.

Upon acceptance to Sulam every child, undergoes an Individual Evaluation Program. The children receive intensive therapies, including Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapy, Sneozelen, and Social Work Services. They undergo bi-weekly evaluations where their individual goals are re-assessed.

The daily schedule in the daycare combines the fun of regular nursery, with the emphasis on meeting developmental goals with warmth and love.

Head Start Preschools

Sulam’s Head Start Preschools service children ages 3 – 7 years with developmental, and/or behavioral and emotional delays. Many of these children have no official diagnosis as of yet and we provide constant observation to track the children’s progress and diagnose the source of their delay.

Each child lovingly receives a full range of therapies, including Physical, Occupational, Speech, and Hydro-Therapy, enabling the child to move into a more specialized framework or alternatively to be mainstreamed into a regular education classroom.

Approximately 30% of the students in our Early Intervention Program eventually move on to regular education classes.

Integrated Daycare Centers

Sulam began over 30 years ago when Faigy Ernster began to accept children with disabilities into her private playgroup providing integration programs long before the word was fashionable. Sulam currently provides integration for babies in our daycare centers through programs for teenage students who are trained for work within Sulam and the wider community.

Sulam has been chosen by the Ministry of Welfare of the State of Israel to launch the revolutionary new project, “Back to Front” in Jerusalem.

The “Back to Front” project enables children with developmental delays, motor, language, or function difficulties to learn and grow together with other children in a regular classroom.

This program is offered in Meor Chaim’s mainstream daycare center which services children aged 6 months to 3 years. . Approximately 10% of the children have disabilities and receive therapy services inside the regular classroom setting.

A yearly enrichment program is set up for each child, who receives the individual therapy needed, including physiotherapy, speech, occupational therapy, and emotional therapies with a social worker.

This program enables children with disabilities to narrow the gaps and eventually allow the children to be fully integrated in regular classrooms.
