Hyper Healing: Parenting the Instant Gratification Child with Avigail Gimpel
Avigail Gimpel is a mom and educator who is the author of Hyper Healing: The Empowered Parent’s Complete Guide to raising a healthy child with ADHD symptoms. Avigail received her BA from Touro college and completed her graduate studies at Touro college graduate school for Special Education in Manhattan, New York. She taught in Yeshiva Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway from 1995 to 1998, where she developed an intervention program for student struggling with ADHD symptoms, after which she married and made aliyah.
In Israel she earned advanced degrees in teaching reading to children with Dyslexia and cognitive education for children with ADHD symptoms.
After returning to Israel, she immersed herself in studying and developing treatment options for ADHD for her own kids and many struggling students. She collaborated with her father-in-law, Dr. Amnon Gimpel (psychiatrist and neurologist), and developed a parent training program. She then developed a teachers training program and now teaches in Hertzog college as well as lectures in Israeli schools and to parent groups all over Israel. She works in private practice, training parents to become ADHD coaches to their children and spouses to learn a new love language to communicate with respect.
She has recently published her first book “Hyper Healing,” based on many years of research and practice both as a mother of a good number of kids diagnosed with ADHD, as well as a classroom teacher of children struggling with ADHD symptoms.
