On May 29, 2019, Access Israel held an awareness event for teens participating in a program through The Jewish Agency During the event the participants got a glimpse into the world of accessibility, through the viewpoint of four people with disabilities (mobility, vision, hearing, communication), who shared their life stories – hardships and successes. In one room they met Yehonatan – a deaf instructor, received an explanation about the way communication is made with him and the interpreter, and learned a few words in ISL (Israeli Sign Language).

They met Nir – an instructor with a communication disability, who shared his life story, and the daily obstacles he faces: .jpg) The participants expressed a great appreciation towards the guides, and the eye-opening experience they had. |
