Education Inclusion

Education Inclusion

The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston aspires to make our education tent bigger, so every child and family feels they have a place in Jewish Education in the Greater Houston community. During Hineni Houston, we heard from you and built out this program. We recognize that all students demonstrate a spectrum of strengths and challenges. Together, we can foster an inclusive community in which families feel connected and engaged.

Resources for Parents and Caregivers

We can help your family connect with diagnostic, therapeutic provision, and your first next step in helping your child gain greater access to success in their Jewish education.

  • Do you need help with finding a diagnostician?
  • Do you need help with finding a therapeutic resource?
  • Do you need help navigating your child’s educational needs?
  • Do you need advocacy support?
