The HASC (Hebrew Academy For Special Children) Programs were established in 1963 by Rabbi Max and Blanche Kahn[1] to provide educational and clinical services to individuals from infancy through adulthood who exhibit developmental delays.

[5] Programs are divided by approximate age ranges: HASC is well known for its annual A Time for Music benefit concert.

[7] In the past it has attracted contemporary Jewish stars like Mordechai Ben David, Avraham Fried, Yaakov Shwekey and Matisyahu.

A challenging part of their job experience for the new nurses is devising clever ways to encourage the campers to take their medications.

[11] The agency received a $430,000 federal grant in 2001 to establish a national service center for the disabled.
