Treatment Programs

Beit Issie Shapiro provides many different supplementary treatments and services for people with special needs — children as well as adults.  In many cases these are treatments pioneered and developed at Beit Issie Shapiro and then taught to professionals both in Israel and abroad. 

Services include...

• A child development unit providing supportive treatments for children  in regular school frameworks
• A dental clinic exclusively serving people with special needs
• A hydrotherapy and swimming center
• Controlled multi-sensory stimulation in a "Snoezelen" room
• A sport and recreation center
• A child and family therapy center 

There is no geographical restriction on these services although they are most accessible to people living in the central region of the country.

Funding

There is no government funding towards these programs, although parents may apply for reimbursements from their health insurance provider. Parents who cannot pay full fees, may apply for special subsidies.
