The goal of the special education system in Efrat is to provide appropriate educational support for students aged 3 to 21 from all sectors who experience various challenges.

Most special education programs are located within Efrat, though in some cases a specialized educational setting outside the town may be needed, based on the student’s emotional and functional needs.

Special education services in Efrat include integration within mainstream classrooms with personalized support (“sal ishi”) or small, adapted classes within regular schools.

From preschools through elementary and secondary schools, Efrat’s educational frameworks are designed to meet each student’s unique needs.

School staff, working in full cooperation with parents, identify students who experience difficulties at all levels of functioning and guide them throughout the eligibility and classification process
