An occupational therapist in Ra'anana — who it's for
I'm Shira Wayne, a pediatric occupational therapist in Ra'anana. I work with children ages 2–9 in a quiet home clinic, in a setting where the child feels at ease and parents are part of the process.
Pediatric OT focuses on the skills a child needs to take part in daily life: pencil grip and handwriting, sequencing and organisation, attention within a task, sensory and emotional regulation, fine and gross motor skills, play and social connection.
My work starts with understanding what sits behind the difficulty — not only practising the task itself.
Common reasons families in Ra'anana get in touch
- First-grade readiness — sitting, attention within a task, independence and organisation
- Handwriting that is hard to read, tires quickly, or an inefficient pencil grip
- Fine motor difficulty: buttons, laces, scissors, cutting and pasting
- Clumsiness, frequent falls or avoiding the playground
- Sensory sensitivity: noise, textures, clothing, haircuts or food
- Trouble organising, starting a task or finishing it
- Short play, difficulty persisting or connecting with other children
The Ra'anana clinic
The clinic is located in Ra'anana and serves families from Ra'anana and the surrounding area — Kfar Saba, Herzliya, Hod HaSharon and Ramat HaSharon.
Sessions take place in a warm, purpose-equipped home setting with therapy equipment, climbing and movement surfaces, and fine-motor materials.
Support is available in Hebrew and English, which works well for olim families and bilingual children.
