In the Bethlehem area, SIRA (Swedish International Relief Association) helped epileptic children from 1968 - 1992. In 1992, the SIRA board decided to serve a new group: “The slow learners”. These were in urgent need for help as there wasn’t a single school in the area to meet this need.
Thus the first special education school was established in Bethlehem and in 1994 the second school was established in Jericho.
