❄ ☃ At ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, we’re learning about the winter season…and places where it actually gets cold enough to snow. At our rehabilitation village, the weather is always perfect and there is warmth in abundance. ☀❤️

💦 𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟! ♿ At ADI, hydrotherapy has proven to be one of the most effective therapeutic tools for our residents with severe disabilities, as the weightlessness and relative calm that exists in the water helps our residents feel free and unrestricted, often leading to growth well beyond their initial prognoses. It also creates the optimal environment for enhanced communication. By utilizing the same augmentative alternative communication (AAC) system in the pool that is used in the classrooms and treatment areas, nonverbal residents are empowered to accurately express their feelings, desires and experiences by simply pointing at cards that match their moods or requests. For example, Refael, a longtime resident of ADI Jerusalem, makes it perfectly clear that he is thoroughly enjoying hydrotherapy and wants to stay in the pool as long as he can. Thanks to hydrotherapy, Refael is being heard!

🚲♿ Remember back in August when two of our amazing International Volunteers spearheaded a project to fix all of the adaptive tricycles at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran? Well, the fleet of 15 fully-repaired therapeutic bikes are now being put to good use every single day, helping our ADI family reach therapeutic goals like increased range of motion, motor planning, reciprocal leg movement, strength, coordination, endurance and fitness. In addition, the adaptive tricycles promote play that’s good for physical, emotional, social and cognitive function, remove a potential barrier to social interaction, and help our ADI residents and special education students gain self-confidence by empowering them to take control of their own mobility. In short, they are cruising towards their greatest potentials! ♿🚲

✡ 𝗕𝗡𝗘𝗜 𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗩𝗔 𝗜𝗦

✡ 𝗕𝗡𝗘𝗜 𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗩𝗔 𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞! 🙌 When it comes to youth groups, children with disabilities are very often left on the sidelines. But thanks to ADI Jerusalem’s Bnei Akiva chapter – Israel’s only chapter for children with severe disabilities – our amazing residents are able to get in on the action as well. Last week, a new group of Bnei Akiva counselors came to ADI Jerusalem for an intensive training that included an overview of the ADI mission, interactive disability simulations, a discussion about the importance of disability inclusion and an introduction to the ADI residents. The ADI residents were so excited to meet their new Bnei Akiva counselors and are looking forward to another year of inclusive fun!

❤️ THE FRIENDSHIP BENCH: When six-year-old Ido

❤️ THE FRIENDSHIP BENCH: When six-year-old Ido Avigal from Sderot was killed during the "Guardian of the Walls" conflict earlier this year, his mother, Shani, launched a beautiful initiative to memorialize Ido and help her heal from the painful loss. Because it was often difficult for Ido to connect with others, Shani decided to donate a ‘friendship bench’ to his kindergarten – a place where children who find it hard to socialize can go to signal to others that they would like to be approached and included in the games going on around them. The idea worked so well, that kindergartens across Israel wanted one of their very own…including the integrated kindergarten at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, where children born with multiple disabilities and their non-disabled peers interact throughout their daily activities to promote an understanding of equity and inclusion. We placed our friendship bench – which is adorned with the phrase 'Love thy neighbor as thyself' – in the kindergarten’s play area to helps us promote friendship and cultivate a sense of empathy and acceptance from a young age. May Ido’s benches continue to bring people together, and may his memory be for a blessing always. ❤️
