SHALVA
SHALVA (The Association for Mentally and Physically Challenged Children in Israel) (Hebrew: שַׁלְוָה) is a registered non-profit organization that supports individuals with special needs in Israel. The organization works with a wide range of individuals with disabilities: mental retardation, developmental delay, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, the Autism spectrum, special needs with recognized handicaps (children with minor to severe retardation, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome), and more; and to empower the families of individuals with special needs.
The organization was founded in 1990 and operates a variety of programs for individuals with special needs. The organization’s programs are free of charge and rely heavily on the work of volunteers. As of 2015, the chairman of the organization is Kalman Samuels. The organization provides services to approximately 500 infants, children, and young adults.
==Background==
As parents of a child with special needs, Kalman and Malki Samuels understood the need for the founding of an organization that would ease the burdens of families of children with special needs. Their son, Yossi Samuels, was born a healthy child in 1977 however, after receiving a faulty DPT vaccination, he was rendered blind, deaf, and hyperactive. He was isolated in his own world without a method of communication. Based on their personal experience with the day-to-day challenges of raising a family and the constant need to care for a child with special needs, they decided to establish SHALVA in 1990.
The first center was established in a private apartment in the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem and catered to a few dozen local children. As a greater need emerged, the organization bought an additional facility on an adjacent street and began expanding its programs; the building was later called ”Beit Nachshon” in memory of Nachshon Wachsman who was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in 1994. Over the years, programs with innovative therapies were developed for infants, and the organization began to support research in various subjects in its field.
