The website “Lilach,” developed jointly by the Shalem Foundation and the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services’ Disabilities Administration, was created to explain the role of the gynecologist and how routine visits to the office are conducted. The goal of the site is to lessen feelings of pressure and fear and increase women’s feelings of independence prior to visiting the gynecologist for a standard examination. The educational material on the site is geared towards women with moderate to severe levels of intellectual developmental disabilities, aged 21 and over, living in residential facilities or in their parents’ home, who utilize various services offered in their communities
The site was the final project for Shahar Mor and Noa Mynrat, students in the Faculty of Instructional Technologies in the Holon Institute of Technology. Instructors: Dr. Hailey Marom, Nogah Resnik.
Content experts: Shosi Aspler and Nilly Ben Dor, Disabilities Administration, Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services and Sharon Ganot, The Shalem Foundation
