Nitzan, The Israeli Association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities treats children, youth and adults suffering from learning, adaptive and functional disabilities. The aim of Nitzan is to provide special education services for the learning-disabled, with the goal of enabling their integration into mainstream education and helping them develop the skills necessary to become contributing members of society.
One of Nitzan's greatest achievements is the change is perspective it has brought about in Israeli society toward people with learning disabilities. For many years' individuals with learning disabilities suffered both socially and professionally. However, by raising public awareness to this condition and early treatment, Nitzan has significantly improved the quality of life of many children and adults, who were wrongly discriminated.
