Over the last year, Israel Elwyn (IE) and Beit Issie Shapiro (BIS), another well regarded organization in the field of disability, began working together to help foster a self advocacy movement and leadership cadre among people with intellectual disabilities in Israel. Together, we believe this process, which has been evolving and developing over the past years, has the potential for success, advancing on two levels: in action groups at the local level and subsequently, on regional and even national levels.




The ultimate goal of all of Israel Elwyn's programs is to provide individuals with the tools needed to lead more independent lives within the community.
