Student Support Services at Tucson Hebrew Academy provide individualized academic accommodations plans and services for students with specific learning disabilities. Our services are limited in scope and students qualify through an official diagnosis and documented need for support. We provide pull-out services in which students participate in one-one-one or small group remedial instruction as well as assistance with practicing organization and executive functioning skills. Our special education teachers also “push-in” to classrooms to assist students in their general education classes. In collaboration with Jewish Family and Children Services with financial support from donors and the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona, we are able to provide the services of a very talented school counselor for general growth and support, teaching problem-solving, communication and social skills. Our student-centered approach helps students feel confident and be successful as they gain independence and mastery of school throughout the year.
