During the last few month we intiated in Ofarim School several activities that enhance the learning experience and expose the autistic kids to new experiences.
We were hosted by an animal farm that let the kids have direct contact with the animals, feed them, pet them and watch thier behvaiour.
Normal kids from Reali and Nirim schools accompanied us to an outdoor activity at a playground. The kids had a wonderful interaction that left them with a new social experience with kids in similar age.
We also went to a day long field trip.
Thanks to the many donations that came in, we were able to put together a show for the Jewish tree's holiday that had the kids actively participated.
In the classrooms, we were able to use the donations to enrich our learning materials.
We learned the Tablets are a great tools for autistics. Our goal (with the help of the donations) is to enhance every classroom with iPads such that each kid will be able to use its own tablet and that all the classroom can work together.
Thank you all for great support.
