Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work with children and adolescents from birth to 18 years old. I support clients with a wide range of needs across speech and language development, social communication, early literacy, and feeding, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), speech sound disorders, Down syndrome, and learning difficulties.

  • Sessions range from 30 to 60 minutes depending on your child's needs and goals. I also use 15 minutes of indirect time per session for preparation, notes, and follow-up.

  • I offer home visits in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas, as well as telehealth sessions. We'll figure out together which option works best for your child and family.

  • I work in English.

  • I require 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

  • No referral is needed to book an appointment.

  • Many families are able to submit receipts to their Kupat Cholim or private health insurance for partial reimbursement of speech therapy costs. Coverage and requirements vary, so it’s best to check directly with your provider - they may ask for documentation, treatment codes, or a referral.

    Some families may also be eligible for support through the National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) if your child qualifies for a disability allowance, which can provide financial assistance and additional benefits.

  • Assessments are tailored to your child's age and needs, but typically include a parent/child interview, developmental history, informal and/or formal assessment tools, and a written report with findings and recommendations.

  • Therapy is tailored to each child’s goals. Sessions may include structured activities, play-based exercises, and practical strategies for home. I work closely with families, so you’ll always know what we’re working on and how to support progress between sessions.

  • No - I can't provide a formal diagnosis of autism or ADHD. However, I can complete a comprehensive speech and language assessment and write a detailed report that contributes valuable information to the diagnostic process.

    A formal diagnosis needs to come from a developmental paediatrician, psychiatrist, neurologist, or clinical psychologist.

  • Yes. With your consent, I'm happy to collaborate with educators, psychologists, occupational therapists, paediatricians, and other specialists. It helps keep therapy goals consistent across all the environments your child is in.

  • My approach is neuroaffirming, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence. Therapy is client-led and engaging. I focus on building functional communication skills that actually make a difference at home, school and in the community.
