hand in hand
"A clearer understanding of the range of skills that enable effective writing must guide professionals in developing more systematic ways to prepare children for writing."
"All students - especially those with developmental delays - can benefit from physical, visual, kinesthetic, and fine motor experiences - that are tailored and arranged according to the developmental continuum."
Benbow, 2006

The method is structured in a developmental and orderly manner, is fun and experiential, and is based on research and professional literature.
The method promotes cooperation between the occupational clinic, the educational team, and the parents, providing a uniform language and practical and effective tools for advancing the child.

A little about me...
Yonit Breuer, Occupational Therapist, MSc. OT PhD candidate at Ben Gurion University.
Treats and supervises occupational therapy teams in educational and health settings.
is on an ongoing journey to develop professional tools that will streamline the work of the Department of Fine Motor Skills.
The "Hand in Hand" project that I published in 2017 as part of my master's degree at the Hebrew University under the supervision of Dr. Tal Mazor Kresanti,
Focuses on making professional knowledge in the field of fine motor skills accessible, and providing activities for practice.
The project is widespread across the country and helps healers with many aspects of their work. Here is a link to the project.
But it didn't end there, or rather, it just began...
Following a move to the south of the country, I was exposed to a huge shortage of practicing healers in the periphery.
It pained me to see children not receiving timely treatment. This led me to look for ways to make developmental solutions available to as many children as possible at the same time.
Out of necessity came the solution, and the "Hand in Hand - Fish Championship" method emerged.
The method delves deeply into the components of manual function and thereby makes them accessible and organizes them into an orderly developmental framework, in accessible and enjoyable language.
This enables targeted and effective treatments, group transfer using a unique model, and efficient and effective guidance for parents and educational teams.
The method is in the research process and we will be happy to continue updating you with the results.
