Who We Are

For over twenty years the Association for a Healing Education has served as an agent of change in the culture of education for children with individual needs. It has acted as a "listening ear" to the needs and questions of classroom teachers, parents, and therapists who are involved with providing care for the child of today.

Our main work is with children in regular classrooms who, faced with the challenges of their destiny and the world environment, often require some help for a time. Our intent is to help caregivers provide right practices in education, therapy and medicine through a deeper understanding of child development and hindrances to that development. We also serve as a bridge to the Camphill movement for Curative Education.

The Association provides the following services:

• workshops and lecture presentations
• Remedial Teacher Development programs, which are part-time three-year programs in the U.S. and abroad
• a bi-annual newsletter
• a Care Group Manual
• activity books for teachers and parents
• workshops for parents
• school or individual consulting services

If you are interested in these services, please contact us. We are a non-profit organization and rely on memberships, gifts and volunteers to complete our work. Membership is open to everyone and includes the newsletter, notification of conferences and discounts on conferences and publications.
