Testimonials

  • "Avivit has been fantastic, very understanding and so knowledgeable in the neuro-divergence field. So far, she is the only person we have spoken with who has understood my sons issues and she has already taught us so much in terms of autism burnout and shutdown. Our lives feel different already because of this, so thank you and thanks to Dr Dekel."

    Previous client

  • "I have just received some really positive feedback about the support you offer to a number of our foster carers. It has really made a significant difference for foster carers and in the children in care and has really supported placement stability."
