Weinberg Village provides the community with a tremendous learning opportunity for students with disabilities. This resource fills a gap between classroom learning and real world experiences. By bridging this gap, Weinberg Village gives students with special needs the ability to confidently assume responsibility and independence in the outside world. The aim is to achieve optimum independence, dignity and fulfillment, while respecting the privacy, individuality and rights of each person around them.
