Rona Expands Heart Language Communication

My story

I’m Rona, a mother and the owner of the business “Sfat Lev” (Heart Language). For over 15 years, I have been working with non-verbal autistic individuals, families, and educational staff, driven by a deep human connection and the belief that every person has a rich inner world and the capacity for connection, even when the path there is complex. My professional journey was built through continuous learning and pioneering fieldwork; I started as a shadow therapist, where I met a non-verbal autistic youth whose personal request inspired me to establish my private clinic. Today, the business is growing constantly due to increasing demand, and I work in schools, deliver lectures to professionals, and guide families individually to create real change in the lives of those who cannot always express themselves in conventional ways.

Micro lending, Macro Impact

This loan will be used to purchase a vehicle for the business, a step that will allow me to break past the boundaries of a physical clinic and provide mobile, accessible services from Kiryat Bialik to Beer Sheva. This logistical investment is critical, as it will enable me to reach more schools, families, and professional teams who need this guidance and face a shortage of specialized support in their areas. For me, your support serves as a significant lever for stable business development, allowing me to expand my circles of impact and bring more people their most basic right: self-expression, participation, and connection to the world around them.

My business - My spark

The unique value of my business lies in the integration of therapy, body awareness, communication, and learning. The approach I developed is based on deep listening, sensitivity, and perseverance, enabling the discovery of alternative and meaningful communication channels where words are absent. The fact that my practice grew entirely from personal recommendations and authentic field experiences reflects the immense trust parents and educational teams place in my methods, which provide families with practical tools, profound understanding, and a renewed sense of capability.

A few more words

My dream is to continue spreading the tools of "Sfat Lev" to as many frameworks and families in Israel as possible, ensuring that no individual remains invisible simply because they are non-verbal. I aspire to build a broad professional support network that reminds our society that every individual has a voice, and it is simply up to us to learn how to listen.
