Meshi provides comprehensive, continuous care and therapies for children from six months of age through 21 years old.

Services are offered both through The Multidisciplinary Outpatient Therapy Center and through our day programs in the Educational-Rehabilitation Centers—including daycares, preschools, schools, and a yeshivah high school.

Meshi provides a wide spectrum of developmental and rehabilitative therapies, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychotherapy, alongside a variety of special education and social integration programs.

Each area of therapy and education features groundbreaking programs and methods that draw on ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration and incorporate cutting-edge technologies—such as virtual reality (VR), the TheraSuit method , 3D systems  and a broad array of AAC tools and assistive technologies.

Over 25 years of practice, Meshi has developed a holistic, transdisciplinary approach, in which all professional teams collaborate to define goals and strategies that promote multi-dimensional functional development. This means enhancing each child’s abilities across motor, cognitive, emotional, and social domains, while enabling maximal participation in every setting—at home, at school, in society, and in the community, both now and in the future.

This approach shapes both personalized and group treatment programs, as well as system-wide solutions in all the Meshi centers and services. Read more about the Meshi Approach>>

Absolutely. Sharing our expertise is central to our mission of improving the well-being and quality of life of all children. Meshi’s teams collaborates with other institutions to implement innovative therapy programs (like this one); offering professional services such as the development of Custom Assistive Solutions; and provide insights into rare or complex cases.

We also launch educational initiatives in public schools; offer professional training courses and community workshops; promote public awareness initiatives; and maintain strong ties with the health and paramedical communities in Israel and abroad.
