A MaLaCh (Madrticha L’tichnun Chinuchi) counsels students and their families in the selection of educational programs, based on the student's individual needs and talents. This choice has a great impact on you and your child’s integration process into Israeli society. Students and their families can find this decision overwhelming as they struggle to evaluate options and make wise choices.
