Direct Services
Partnering with Chicagoland Jewish Day Schools
We support nearly 700 day-school students with specialized services annually. Instead of concentrating resources at just one or a few schools, REACH builds the capacity of all JUF-affiliated Jewish day schools in greater Chicago––across the Jewish spectrum, cultures, ideologies and school resource levels.
Our support looks different in each school we serve. REACH currently provides special eduction and academic support staff, as well as school-based occupational and speech therapists, in 15 different Chicago Jewish day schools. You can find a list of these schools here.
