Helping you navigate education and supports with clarity and confidence.

Family Guidance for Olim

I work with new and veteran olim across education, health, and social systems, providing strategic guidance and direct services that help families access community resources and build sustainable, workable lives in Israel.

Education

  • Orientation to the education system grounded in children’s ages, stages, and learning profiles

  • Practical support in assessing school fit, what to ask, what to prioritize, and how to interpret school responses

  • Managing school registration and transitions between and within municipalities, with attention to processes, timelines, and how placement decisions are made

  • Interpretation of Aliyah-related educational rights and how formal entitlements are applied in practice

Special Education

  • Navigation of special education frameworks across ages and levels of support

  • Interpretation of school observations and recommendations, particularly when evaluations may be part of the picture

  • Preparation for eligibility and placement processes, including understanding how decisions are made and what to expect at each stage

  • Coaching for conversations with school professionals and committees, covering how to approach questions, clarify recommendations, and advocate effectively for your child within the system

  • Alignment of evaluations and documentation from outside Israel with Israeli eligibility and review processes

Hebrew Language Learning

  • Guidance on how second-language acquisition typically unfolds at different ages, whether children were born in Israel or arrived through Aliyah

  • Distinguishing between second-language learning and underlying learning, attention, or language-processing differences

  • Setting realistic language-learning expectations and identifying appropriate next steps, before and after Aliyah

Bituach Leumi

  • Interpreting eligibility criteria and review processes

  • Hands-on support with applications and documentation, including materials prepared outside Israel

  • Strategic timing and sequencing, particularly when coordinating Bituach Leumi alongside educational processes
