Inclusion Community Assessment, Planning & Strategy (Inclusion CAPS)
Matan partners with communities and organizations to offer a comprehensive needs assessment as it pertains to disability inclusion in Jewish life. Matan staff members conduct multi-day fact-finding sessions with local professionals, lay leadership, families, and individuals with disabilities. As a result of these consultations, Matan provides a roadmap to help ignite a five to seven year inclusion journey resulting in greater clarity amongst community members, shared professional development goals and a common language with which to approach successful inclusion.
Matan Institute & Lieberman Fellowship
The Matan Institute and the Lieberman Fellowship are one-of-a-kind opportunities in disability inclusion training tailored to the specific needs of Jewish communal professionals and lay leaders. Complete with in-person workshops, webinars, 1:1 mentoring and a final Inclusion Impact Project, these programs support Jewish communities in their quest to include all individuals in the fabric of Jewish life.
Professional Development & Coaching
We are committed to empowering your team with the necessary tools to foster disability inclusion in your community or organization, no matter where you are on your inclusion journey.
From one-time workshops to ongoing support and guidance, Matan’s professionals develop programs entirely designed to suit your community or organization’s needs.
Resource Development & Curriculum Consultation
Matan’s team of special educators develop resources that anyone can utilize in their classrooms or programs. Each of Matan’s free lesson plans not only provides a comprehensive, ready-to-use lesson, it also models differentiation and offers ideas for what to consider when you are planning your own lessons. Full curricula are also available for purchase.
Matan is proud to partner with leading Jewish educational organizations to adapt their curricular materials to meet the needs of all learners. If you are responsible for the curriculum at your school or program, we will be happy to work with you to help ensure accessibility for diverse learners.
