Anna Joy Nissim

About

Hi, I'm Anna, a licensed Speech and Language Therapist in the US and Israel, with over 5 years of experience working with school-aged students in both Special Education and General Education settings.

Before becoming an SLP, I spent three years as an early childhood teacher and PE instructor, and that background in movement and early learning still shows up in every session I run. I love weaving music, movement, and play into my sessions to create therapy experiences that are joyful and effective.

I've developed a real passion for designing motivating, real-life-based activities that make speech and language learning meaningful well beyond the four walls of the therapy room. I believe that strong client-clinician and family-clinician relationships are essential foundations for progress, and I prioritize collaboration, warmth, and authenticity in every session.

My approach is neuroaffirming, structured, and engaging, and it's always tailored to each child's unique strengths, so they can build the confidence and communication skills that last.

♾️ Autism: Child-led support for communication, connection, sensory needs, and AAC

🧠 ADHD: Executive function, listening, and processing support

🔤 Dyslexia: OG/phonics-based methods to build decoding skills for reading success

💬 Receptive/Expressive language: Understanding and using language effectively

🗣️ Articulation/Phonology: Clear, confident speech and sound production

🌬️ Orofacial myology: Supporting speech production, feeding, and breathing

I also work with clients with Intellectual disability, speech and language delays, feeding/swallowing difficulties, and stuttering. I'm currently available in Tel Aviv for home-based speech-language therapy sessions.
