The Jerusalem Center for Children with Visual Impairments and Multiple Disabilities
Every student at Keren Or has a personalized therapeutic program which includes physical, speech, occupational, music and hydro therapies. Students with CVI also receive vision therapy that improves their ability to see and communicate. Our therapies take place during the school day, and are designed to improve the quality of life of our children and families, with an emphasis on orientation, mobility, communication and daily functioning. ​
​
We work to enhance each child’s ability to communicate, either verbally or through alternative methods such as iPads, signing, adaptive switches, tactile symbols and eye-gaze technology. Students with CVI also receive vision therapy that improves their ability to see and communicate.
Our world-class hydrotherapy center boasts a large pool, electronic lifts, and accessible locker rooms. In our heated pool, miracles occur!
Circulation and respiration improve, and tight muscles relax, enabling students to expand their range of motion. Many students take their first steps or vocalize their first sounds during hydrotherapy sessions!
