Since 2013 I specialise in bilateral movement training for students, through focus orientated metal work. I work with students from the neurodiversity spectrum, as well as students with rheumatism and accident-related brain damage.
In 2016 I co-founded Metalhealth with Michal Greenberg Abrahami, member of Sheba medical centre Tel Aviv, to train medical staff and occupational therapists in bilateral movement training through metal work.
