About the Program
Eshkolot is a residential framework geared to adults ages 18+ with high-functioning, mild intellectual developmental disabilities. Our innovative model boasts beautiful, well-maintained apartments, centrally-located in sought after neighborhoods and communities where residents are empowered to enjoy an exceptional degree of personal autonomy. Our mission combines top-tier professional guidance with an autonomous lifestyle so our members can shape their own futures and enjoy a meaningful, productive schedule with confidence and pride.
The primary objective at Eshkolot is the complete, natural integration of our residents into the community. Our residents lead active, independent lives, managing their own daily work and study schedules while participating extensively in social and leisure activities. Our residential advisors provide daily, personalized guidance to ensure that our members’ lives run smoothly and their needs are met.
Appreciating that adulthood includes major personal milestones, Eshkolot places special structural focus on long-term lifecycle transitions. We deliver specialized preparatory programs, including extensive premarital education and a marriage course for eligible residents, gifting them the requisite practical and emotional tools to build independent, joyful lives both as spouses and capable members of society.
