JWA of HK

 ALUT  was established in 1974 by parents of autistic children in order to better serve the needs of children with autism and their families. ALUT’

s mission is to ensure the well being, rehabilitation, future and economic status of persons with autism in Israel. ALUT provides educational, residential, vocational and leisure-time services to people with autism and works to advance their rights and to improve the services available to them and their families.

ALUT is revolutionizing the treatment of autistic toddlers, children and adults by doing the following:

• establishing effective, integrated, individualized educational programs;
• establishing rehabilitation and occupational centers for adults;
• establishing “Home for Life”
• residential homes for autistic people; - providing assistance to families.

Last year the JWA donated US$40,000 to Alut to support a new project in Bat Yam. This project consists of a new occupational center which has become home to 50 autistic teenagers. The center is open daily from 8am to 4pm and offers activities, classes and work projects. The JWA donation was used to build the kitchen, furnish the entire center and provide for its ongoing maintenance this year.
