Emunah

The Butler Special Needs Center provides after school social and recreation programs (Emunah) for children with a variety of special needs including attention deficit disorder, speech and language delays, developmentally delays and autism. Groups consist of children with various abilities. The programs stress group interaction and socialization skills as well as individual gains in fine and gross motor skills, speech and language and just having fun. Activities include gym, swim, arts and crafts, cooking and homework help. Staff members are carefully selected to allow the participants to reach their maximum capacity.

Transportation is not included, although individual school districts may provide transportation. Parents will be required to fill out participant profiles and submit medical forms prior to attending the first session. Staff members in the Special Needs Center are special education teachers, recreation therapists and adults or students with experience and interest in working with a special needs population. Fees are based on monthly payments.

The Butler Special Needs Center follows the Commack School District Calendar. If school is not in session, there will be no after-school program that day. Please see vacation programs for additional activities on selected vacation days.

Funding for this program provided by the Butler Special Needs Center through UJA-Federation of New York, and the Roslyn Savings Foundation.
