JAA Guides Families of Children With Special Needs

For parents of children with special needs, the start of the school year can be challenging with new routines and changes. Federation’s Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance (JAA) website is an important tool that can help. The user-friendly one-stop gateway enables parents and families to find resources, educational options, accessibility tools, support groups and timely programs. Families can also access inclusive tools to celebrate the High Holidays, including videos and prayer guides. As part of its programming, JAA will be delivering Rosh Hashanah baskets to Jewish residents of MACtown, a center for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, in Miami. Almost 25 percent of Americans have some sort of disability and JAA can help families at all ages and stages. Click here to explore what JAA offers.
