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, language, social communication, play, and literacy — including autism, ADHD, developmental language disorder, 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 include 15 minutes of indirect time per session for preparation, notes, and follow-up.
-
I offer home visits in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas (Tuesdays to Thursdays), as well as telehealth sessions. We'll figure out together which option works best for your child and your family.
-
I work in English.
-
I require 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
-
No referral is needed to book an appointment. If you're hoping to claim reimbursement through your kupat cholim, they may require documentation - best to check with them directly.
-
I'm not contracted with any kupat cholim - sessions are private pay. That said, some families are able to claim partial reimbursement through supplementary health insurance (like Clalit Mushlam or Maccabi Sheli). Eligibility varies, so it's worth checking with your health fund.
-
It depends on your child's goals. We'll discuss frequency after the initial assessment and adjust as needed over time.
-
Assessments are tailored to your child's age and needs, but typically include a parent interview, developmental history, informal and/or formal assessment tools, and a written report with findings and recommendations.
-
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 child-led and playful - I focus on building functional communication skills that actually make a difference at home, at school, and out in the world.
