Ms. Yifat is truly exceptional. Her level of engagement, sincerity and caring is so appreciated. She is cheerful, helpful and most importantly has proactively anticipated needs and potential challenges, then tailored ideas, taken regular check-ins and has made all the difference as we non-professionals try to stay the course and keep our sanity at home. Ms. Yifat is truly a trusted professional. We are very appreciative and as parents, think very highly of her."

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!

Working with Yifat has been a wonderful experience. My child’s skills have been improving. As important as being an effective 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.

My son looks forward to his time with Ms. Yifat each week. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious, and he always leaves her sessions with a 'can-do' attitude and a more positive perspective on his ability in the classroom. The connection he has formed with Ms Yifat carried through when instruction moved online during Covid. OT is a highlight of his school day. He loves the games, the movements, and the prizes - she has really helped to build his confidence and put some fun back in school interactions."
