Hi I am looking into this yeshiva which someone recommended for my socially challenged son going into Mesivta . Anyone familiar with the program? A quick search on this site didn’t come up with any current results and I would like to know if anyone knows anything about it before I call them to inquire . Thanks
My son is coming from a boro park yeshiva where they learn in Yiddish . Therefore I assume he would fit more into the chassidish program ? What kind of boys are in each program ?
Its for boys with high functioning autism. They have an amazing program! Many boys get good jobs after graduating and some are married... Call the office and Menahel to get more information if it's suitable for your son...
Ok thanks will do that . I’m just hoping I can get a proper feel if he would be with similar peers . He’s extremely high functioning but his social emotional deficits are becoming more of a struggle as he’s getting older and I feel like continuing in a mainstream mesivta won’t get him to advance socially . At that same time though he is a very serious learner to people who don’t know him they would never guess he has challenges. He spends every spare minute in shul learning .

Thats common for ppl with asd to enjoy learning, especially on their own... Hatzlacha!
