As you read this, a boy with cerebral palsy is learning how to control his motorized wheelchair with his eyes. A girl with autism
is discovering new ways to communicate. A young adult with learning disabilities is adjusting to a new life of independence.
A parent is receiving psychological counseling and emotional support after being told his/her child’s diagnosis for the first time.
Everything we do is about making a difference – not just on a local level and not just in Israel. We are making a much wider
impact, representing Israel’s best practice in disabilities throughout the world in order to make all societies more just and
inclusive. We believe this change is possible!
As we reflect on the past year, we know you will also be inspired by the stories in this report, which show you how your gifts
are making a difference.
And as we look ahead, we are proud to count you as our essential partners in developing innovative programs, changing
attitudes in society, sharing knowledge, and spreading our impact through collaborations with key players in Israel and abroad.
Thank you for helping turn dreams into realities.
