About HASC Hebrew Academy For Special

HASC's Woodmere campus provides school-age education and developmental services for children and young adults with disabilities. The nonprofit, nonsectarian agency has served families since 1963 and operates programs across New York City, Long Island, and Rockland County. At Woodmere, students build functional, academic, and social skills through individualized instruction and related services. Older students practice vocational skills, take part in community activities, and gain volunteer or work experience as they prepare for adult life. HASC also brings families into the educational process and offers clinical and residential supports across its wider service network. Its school-age programs serve children and young adults ages 5 through 21 at Woodmere and another Brooklyn campus. Students can work on communication, self-care, and participation in their communities, with support from related-service professionals such as speech, occupational and physical therapists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and adaptive physical education staff. Program details vary by campus and individual needs.
