Sager Solomon Schechter Jewish Day School

This is a wonderful school, top-​notch if your child is «normal». However, if your child has ADD/​ADHD/​ODD, bipolar disorder or a combination of any of these, there is no place for you.
Got a developmental disability? Mental retardation? Autism? Then there is Keshet, your developmentally disabled child is welcome to get a Jewish education at Keshet.
But for a child who for all the world appears normal but has some behavioral issues, there is nothing. My daughter is beautiful, creative, engaging, artistic, above average in intelligence, musical, athletic, loving… but she has issues. She is easily irritated by large groups of kids, too noisy for her, she needs her distance, her personal space.
Where is the therapeutic Jewish day school for kids like her? It doesn’t exist; if you are at either end of the spectrum, there is a place for your child, but if you fall in the middle, there is nothing… see ya’…adiós…f-you!
With all the money the Jewish Federation donates to other causes, why should any child not have the option of a Jewish education?
I’m giving three stars because it IS a good school but doesn’t have the staffing to accomodate kids with behavioral issues. This isn’t a criticism on this particular school, it is a criticism on the entire Jewish day school system.
