Not every community in America has a Keshet – a unique organization serving individuals with special needs throughout their entire lifespan. However, this Chicago based organization is now breaking out nationally with the launching of the Keshet Leventhal Professional Development Center, providing full service consultations for communities across America that aspire to replicate the model Keshet has so successfully created in the Chicago area that include educational, recreational, vocational and social programming.
“After the consultations we’ve been invited to over the past few years, we understood that there is a real need outside Chicago to establish organizations like ours,” says Abbie Weisberg, CEO/Executive Director of Keshet. This year, Weisberg will represent Keshet as one of the featured speakers at the 2012 International Autism Conference in Jerusalem, alongside leading international autism researchers representing over 20 countries.
The areas of expertise of Keshet’s professional staff include structured teaching, effective inclusion, volunteer training, teacher mentorship, classroom support, ability awareness, peer/buddy training programs, home/school connection, structured recreation and leisure activities, etc.

Development Center, contact Abbie Weisberg at abbie@keshet.org or visit www.keshet.org.
