I’m a pediatric occupational therapist with over 11 years of experience. I completed my B.A. in Occupational Therapy at the University of Haifa, and I’m currently pursuing an M.A. in Learning Disabilities at the same university. My thesis, under the supervision of prof. Anat Prior, explores the connection between bilingualism, cognitive flexibility, and motor skills in children.
I chose to specialize in learning disabilities out of a deep interest in understanding the diverse challenges children face, and a belief that combining therapeutic and diagnostic perspectives can lead to more accurate and meaningful support. I’m passionate about building bridges between disciplines, in order to better meet each child where they are and support their individual path forward.
