Afternoon Educational Services
Israel Elwyn’s Afternoon Educational Services program enables special education school students to take part in a variety of enrichment activities during after school hours. The program provides knowledge and skills over and above those taught during morning school hours and encourages active student participation. Activities take place in small groups with emphasis on personal attention and are appropriately adapted to meet the individual needs of each participant. Activities include: sports, yoga, music, animal assisted therapy, cooking and arts and crafts.
The program is designed for children and youth with intellectual developmental disabilities, ages 3-21, who live with their families in their respective communities and attend special education schools or inclusive programs in the regular school system.
