ITC

Children

Uniquely designed programs have been developed that cater to the special needs of children who are developmentally challenged, who come from “at risk” families, and immigrants who are seeking assimilation into Israeli society. Programs for Jewish and Arab children promote tolerance, develop cross-cultural relationships and ultimately peaceful coexistence.
