Ono Celebrates 10 Years of “Roim Rachok” – A Program Helping Autistic People Succeed in the IDF and in Life
Ten years ago, Ono Academic College founded the “Roim Rachok” (Looking Ahead) program, whose goal is to help people on the autism spectrum integrate into required professions in the IDF and the civilian market.
To celebrate this marvelous milestone, Ono hosted a seminar entitled “Researchers Looking Ahead (Roim Rachok)” that presented the research conducted on the program over the last decade. The presenters came from the top echelons of Israel’s research and treatment community and the lectures included:

• Research of the Decade Accompanying the Roim Rachok Program | Dr. Efrat Selanikyo
• Neurodiversity and Autism | Professor Simon Baron-Cohen (online)
• Personal Identity in Light of the Diagnosis | Dovrat Sagi
