Special Needs

The Macks Center for Jewish Education is committed to enhancing the connection to life and learning of individuals with special needs, so that they can more fully participate in the Jewish community. Through CJE’s work, these individuals develop their Jewish educational, spiritual, cultural, social and religious lives. CJE works with local school systems, Federal programs and other area non-profit organizations to help parents of students with special needs find the resources and connections they need to assist their children.

COMING SOON! CJE and CCBC will be starting a spring semester of courses for Jewish adults with special needs on February 24th!

The CCBC JEWISH SPECIAL POPULATIONS PROGRAM is currently running a class on COMMUNICATION for individuals 16 years old and up on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the JCC. No high school diploma required. For more information contact Rachel at rturniansky@cjeb.org or 410-735-5022.

Parents, family members, individuals, advocates, educators, or anyone else looking for resources for special needs and disabilities  should know about the new website - Baltimore Jewish Abilities Alliance. Check it out and spread the word!  www.jewishabilities.org
