In memory of Taube Korn z"l

The Mishcon Family Center for the Safe Transportation of Children with Special Needs, Alyn Hospital

In memory of Taube Korn z"l

The Mishcon Family Center for the Safe Transportation of Children with Special Needs was established twelve years ago in ALYN in order to distribute information about safe seating for children with special needs to families and professionals involved in accompanying or driving them

The Mishcon Family Center was established by Taube Korn z"l, one of ALYN's veteran occupational therapists who worked tirelessly to promote safe transportation for children with special needs. Taube brought her knowledge and professionalism from abroad and she taught many occupational therapists around the country. In addition she instructed countless parents and care givers of special needs children in the important elements of safe seating thereby enabling thousands of special needs children nationwide to benefit from her expertise and knowledge. Taube received nation-wide recognition and a number of awards for her work.

On Jerusalem Day 2010, following a serious illness, Taube sadly passed away. Even during her illness she continued working to promote the Center. To honor Taube's memory and in recognition of her devotion to the Center - its work and its goals - we have named the Center after her.
