The most important aspect that I witnessed in P’TACH was the incredible dedication of the director, principal, psychologist and teachers who work tirelessly to make sure that they are reaching out and changing the lives of their students.
For the many parents of children who have learning disabilities, I highly recommend that they schedule a consultation with P’TACH to see if their child is right for their school. There is no question that programs like P’TACH offer new vistas for children with learning disabilities and can ensure that their children have a fighting chance to improve their academic skills and to view themselves as worthy and successful members of our community. P’TACH is truly a miracle that continues to change the lives of countless children.
