Rave Review from LAUSD Consultant
|
Another Ner Yaakov triumph we are thrilled to share:
“My name is Ellen Shapiro and I am a Private School Consultant from LAUSD. I provide a monthly consultative service to students with learning disabilities or autism. It is always a pleasure to visit and observe in Penny Pflaster’s class. The boys are so well-behaved, engaged in learning and motivated to succeed in spite of their learning difficulties. The skills and abilities of the boys develop and improve with every visit I observe.
One of the boys received consultative services from me while attending another school. Since moving to Penny’s program he has shown growth in his attention and focus, reading fluency, vocabulary, writing skills, as well as his social skills.
This program is preparing these boys to be independent and successful learners. They are learning about their learning styles and what they need to do to cope with them.
Continue the important and necessary work that you do.”

Incredible letter from a Ner Yaakov parent
|
This just in -- and we had to share!
"Our son is currently in the Etta Israel Ner Yaakov class. He has been in this class for the last two years and it has changed him in so many ways. We would say it was a life saver.
[He] is a bright boy as you know but in the conventional classroom he was miserable. He hated going to school and every day was a struggle to get him there. Once he was there he kept getting himself in trouble and was falling more and more behind educationally. When we were approached about this “special” class within the school he was attending (Toras Emes) we were skeptical but checked it out.
I cannot begin to tell you how grateful we are today. The special attention, expertise and dedication of Mrs. Penny Pflaster, Rabbi Litenansky and the staff of the Ner Yaakov program are beyond what I could possibly write in a few paragraphs. The proof is our son. There is a smile on his face and no fight as we send him to school daily. He discovered that he is good at Math and challenges himself often. He reads for fun. He is happy to go Daven and learn with his father because he feels successful.
The individualized attention of the Ner Yaakov program was so invaluable that next year [he] will be mainstreaming back into his old Toras Emes Class and [he] is happy and excited to do that and we as well as the Ner Yaakov staff are confident it will be a successful transition.
Thank you.”
