About me

I'm an Israeli-licensed speech-language pathologist, working in the field since 2010, with clinical experience across early childhood settings, including a center for children who are deaf and hard of hearing. I'm also a certified Baby Signs instructor, a mother of three, and the author of a children's picture book about moving house.

Most of what helps a child's language happens in ordinary moments at home. That's what I write about.
