According to a Maariv report, the Perach Yisrael educational network has staff wear thick gloves restricting touch and perform tasks under loud noises and flashing lights to experience the sensory and emotional regulation challenges faced by special-needs children daily. The training aims to sharpen therapeutic sensitivity and educational response. Network CEO Rabbi Moshe Stein said the experience "changes how the child is perceived and refines the therapeutic approach and sensitivity toward him."
The Perach Yisrael educational network, as reported by Maariv correspondent Yuval Bagno, has introduced a sensory overload simulation for staff working with special-needs children. During the training, educators and therapists wear thick gloves that restrict tactile sensation and perform tasks amid loud noises and flashing lights, replicating the sensory and emotional dysregulation their students experience daily. The network's CEO, Rabbi Moshe Stein, said the drill "changes how the child is perceived and refines the therapeutic approach and sensitivity toward him." The report noted that the network's own children also participated in the experiential stations, expressing their feelings and helping staff understand how different stimuli affect them. The initiative reflects a growing emphasis on embodied training in the special-education sector in Israel.
