Learn about our Occupational Therapy practice
With a holistic approach, I improve learning and functional abilities, skills AND self-confidence, utilizing proven strategies honed over years as an Occupational Therapist in leading hospitals, clinics and schools, most recently in South Orange & Maplewood, NJ. My work with children and adults develops their ability to learn, explore and engage with people and the world around them. Parents and caregivers gain insights and learn practical activities to continue building skills at home. For both children and adults, I offer advanced cognitive assessments to help monitor and manage memory, reasoning, verbal ability and attention (in addition to standard OT evaluations).
My true ability is tapping into and developing super powers.

Our 10-year-old son received virtual OT services as part of his IEP this fall (2020). Ms. Yifat has such an amazing presence that even in a virtual situation our son was so engaged and excited to interact with her. Highly recommend for not only her well thought out programming, but also as a thought partner for addressing OT issues and concerns.

Once we moved to virtual learning, Yifat went above and beyond to stay involved with our daughter even though they could not meet face-to-face. We would recommend her to anyone in need of an Occupational Therapist.
Yifat not only helped our daughter with skills to calm herself, deal with difficult situations and interact with peers, but she taught her important life skills!A.M.

Working with Yifat has been a wonderful experience. My child’s skills have been improving. As important as being an effectiive therapist, she is a warm, welcoming and enthusiastic cheerleader for our child. She creates an environment where our child can’t wait for the next session.
