Jewish Disability Inclusion News
Ten years ago, my book publisher suggested, “You should write about what it’s like to be the parent of a Jewish child who has special needs or a disability.” Even though I’m a licensed psychologist and the author of several books, I didn’t feel qualified to give other parents advice or to write a “One Size Fits All” approach. So I replied to the publisher, “Thanks, but no thanks. I’m still learning. Not ready to teach or preach.”
Then three years ago, I was sitting in a room full of moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, siblings, and aides who are trying to help Jewish children, teens, and young adults to deal with the complexities of daily life.

New 'Daygame' dating trend sees men pay £4,000 for bootcamps to learn how to 'hook' women in the street without the need for apps or alcohol - but their targets brand the technique as 'creepy' and 'fake'
Picture the scene: you're walking down the street, sitting in a coffee shop or browsing a supermarket when you're stopped and chatted up by a random man.
While it might sound like a scene from a romantic comedy, it is possible you are actually the unwitting target of a man trying out a growing dating trend, one with creepy and misogynistic undertones.
So-called 'daygaming', which is sweeping the UK and other parts of the world, sees men stop a woman they find attractive to strike up a conversation with the end goal of walking away with a phone number, or 'closing' the deal.
Marketed as a way to meet women away from expensive night clubs, social media and dating apps, it's proving increasingly popular - and there are now several websites and pricey courses dedicated to helping m
