Comments:
A Jewish non-profit organization based in New York City that provides a wide range of supportive services to children with special needs. Established in 1963, HASC has grown to include services for individuals from infancy through adulthood, focusing on those who exhibit developmental delays, including speech, learning, or motor limitations, and behavioral difficulties. With six locations in the New York region, HASC serves over 1,000 children through various programs divided by age ranges: Early Intervention (0-3 years), Preschool (3-5 years), School Age (5-21 years), and a Summer Camp for all ages. A notable aspect of HASC is Camp HASC, which offers a unique seven-week sleep-away summer camp experience in the scenic Catskill Mountains for over 300 children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. This camp is renowned for its ability to meet the complex personal, social, therapeutic, and medical needs of its campers, providing a balance of academics and recreation, including special education, therapies, and a range of recreational activities?.
