Lomdim Program for Special Learning Needs

Lomdim (Learners) Program
Temple Emanu-El strives to employ the most productive methods possible to effectively teach all students in our Religious School with regard to their learning styles. The Lomdim program is supervised by Eileen Kreisler, M.Ed, a certified educational diagnostician and special education teacher.

The program consists of a faculty that is specially trained to work with students who have dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism or other special needs. Depending on the particular situation, a member of the faculty works individually with a student either in the regular classroom or one-to-one, helps the regular teacher with classroom management situations, and/or spends varying amounts of time in different classrooms, observing specific students.

Students in our Lomdim program are eligible for Bar/Bat Mitzvah at age thirteen. Please call Eileen Kreisler in the Religious School office at 214.706.0021 ext.170 to discuss any special learning issues involving your child.

Special Needs Hebrew
We also offer a special Hebrew program designed to meet the needs of our students with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), autism or other special needs. Students work in a small group with a qualified instructor or teaching aide.

Please call Eileen Kreisler in the Religious School office at 214.706.0021 ext.175 to discuss any special learning issues involving your child.
