When everyday things feel harder than they should
Movement &
Sensory Processing
& Regulation
Understanding and responding to sensory needs and supporting regulation.
Emotional
Regulation
Managing frustration, worry, transitions, and big feelings.
Play & Social
Skills
Developing ideas, engaging with others, flexibility, and shared play.
Sometimes a look, a movement, a change in expression, or a moment during play tells us something important.
I pay attention to those moments.
They help me understand your child—what they’re experiencing, what may be getting in the way, and what support might help.

HI, I’M SURY
I provide individualized pediatric occupational therapy support for children and their families. As a COTA with over 7 years of experience in both clinic and school settings, I use play, movement, and meaningful everyday activities to understand what may be getting in a child’s way and support real progress.
I’m also a mother. My understanding of this work has been shaped not only by working with children and families, but by being a parent on the other side of the therapy room.
Parents are part of the process.
We work together to understand and support your child.
GET TO KNOW ME
MY APPROACH
Understanding comes first.
My work is grounded in the DIR/Floortime framework, which helps me understand a child by looking at their sensory profile and social-emotional capacities, while using relationships as the foundation for growth and development.
Rather than beginning with “How do we change this behavior?”, I want to understand “What is making this difficult for this child?”
That understanding guides how I use play, movement, sensory experiences, everyday activities, and the relationship itself to support development.
FAQs
Who do you work with?
I work with children who may benefit from support with movement and coordination, sensory processing and regulation, emotional regulation, play, and social skills. I work with children with and without a formal diagnosis, including autistic children.
Do we need a diagnosis to begin?
No. Some parents come because of a diagnosis or recommendation, while others simply notice that everyday things feel harder for their child than they need to be. I’m happy to talk through what you are noticing and whether this may be a good fit.
What does the process look like?
I usually begin with one or two sessions to get to know your child through play, movement, and everyday activities. Afterwards, I’ll meet with you to discuss what I’m noticing and plan initial goals. I’ll schedule parent meetings at regular points during the process to review progress, share updates, and adjust goals as needed.
What is the setup?
Sessions are weekly and 45 minutes long, held in a private sensory gym in Mekor Baruch, Jerusalem. Private parking is available. The space allows for movement, sensory exploration, play, table activities, and conversation—depending on what is most helpful for your child.
Can I speak with you before scheduling?
Yes. You’re welcome to reach out for an initial conversation about your child and what you are wondering about.
Wondering whether OT could help?
We can start with a conversation about your child and your concerns.
