Sapir's inspiring diversity and inclusivity programs attracts students with a wide range of needs and backgrounds, including about 20% of our students that have disabilities.  We are proud to operate under the auspices of the Dean of Students Office, one of Israel's first Student Accessibility Centers. The Center realizes our mission to provide accessible and high-quality education for all of our students.

Equipped to offer the highest standards of accessible services, the Center offers individualized solutions for students with a range of needs and abilities such as: mobility, sight and hearing disabilities, PTSD, mental health, chronic conditions and learning disorders to enable the successful pursuit of a college education.

Working in close contact with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Defence and the National Insurance Institute, the Accessibility Center also helps students access their medical, psychological and financial benefits.
 
The Accessibility Center's programs includes mentors, tutorials, study skills courses and workshops and technological platforms to access to classroom lectures and materials, as well as ongoing and personal support. In addition, the Center provides intensive language programing for students that Hebrew is their second or third language.

Sapir's Accessibility Center has proven to be crucial for students' success,
offering the best inclusive & accessible services together with the dedicated staff's personalized attention
