Interdisciplinary Collaborate Curriculum Planning and Implementation

Gesher is a revolutionary model of transition education for children with mild learning differences who struggle in the typical classroom setting. By employing certified Special Educators, and collaborating with high quality related service providers, the Gesher staff is able to individualize the learning environment for its students while maintaining the social and emotional experience that is found in the typical yeshiva day school program. Therapists are encouraged to push into the classroom, rather than pull out, and their techniques and suggestions are incorporated into the curriculum planning.
