Uri Ben-Ari, Athena Fund President & Founder
Special education teachers have joined efforts to change the fate of some 190,000 students with special needs, enabling them to improve their digital skills and communicate with their families. Based on donations, Athena Fund's "iPad for Every Special Education Teacher" program enables the gifting of iPads to special education school and kindergarten teachers in Israel.
The use of the iPad opens a window into the inner world of special needs students, helping them improve both their learning and their quality of life. In addition, the iPad improves interpersonal communication with teachers, family and the environment, allowing students to better cope with their difficulties.
I thank you in advance for your willingness to help our efforts to empower special education teachers and to give special children an opportunity to learn, communicate and work in the future.
About Athena Fund
Athena Fund (a non-profit organization) was established in 2006 in order to promote the empowerment of teachers in Israel by providing them with tools for self-fulfillment and professional advancement. Named after the Goddess of Wisdom in Greek mythology, Athena was founded by several prominent business leaders under the direction of President Uri Ben-Ari (CEO of UBA Ventures and former Executive VP of Ness Technologies).
Athena Foundation provides special education teachers with an iPad computer and a 120-hour training program to enable special needs students to better communicate with their teachers, families and environment, and better integrate into society at large.
Teachers equipped with a digital toolbox can expose their students to the wonderful world of advanced technology and online learning materials, while helping them reduce educational gaps and improve social skills.
