Jewish Children’s Regional Service, Houston Branch

Whether it is language therapy for a child with a speech delay or dyslexia remediation for a child struggling to read, an upgraded wheelchair for a physically handicapped child or behavior training for a child with autism, a special school for a student with a learning difference or a comprehensive assessment for ADHD, the JCRS explores and addresses each situation individually, with sensitivity, confidentiality, and respect. If you reside in the Houston, TX area, please contact Melanie Musser, LCSW, at [email protected] or (832) 767-9097. Client challenges are physical, cognitive, emotional, behavioral or developmental. Many have parents who are absent due to death, divorce, deployment or incarceration, or parents who may be struggling to cope with illness, disability or financial setbacks. Some of them come from dependent, at-risk families who struggle to provide the necessary care and stability to meet their children’s needs. For all children, JCRS funding plans are formulated on the totality of their needs, their opportunities and their resources. The application process begins with a phone conversation between the parent(s) of the Special Needs child and the JCRS Special Needs Case Manager. The family’s situation and the child’s needs are thoroughly explored. Parents will then be asked to submit informational records which serve to 1) document and assess the child’s special need, 2) describe the proposed treatment, service, or facility for addressing this need, and 3) explain the family’s need for financial assistance.
