Ben Avraham
MA Student

I earned my B.A in Occupational Therapy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Following my studies, I’ve worked for three years at Eshnav, where I was in charge of a mental rehabilitation program that integrated people who experienced a mental crisis, into higher education. The program focused on development of cognitive controls for optimal integration in the academic environment. In addition, I participated in a specialized training course (Cognitive-Functioning A) in the School of Cognitive Therapy, intended to treat adults with ADHD.

Nowadays, my work is primarily concerned with adults with ADHD and I’m interested in deepening my understanding regarding cognitive control treatments for this population. In my research, I intend to examine such treatments as an alternative for maintaining executive control functions, and to investigate its potential for strengthening resilience. My MA studies are done under the joint supervision of Dr. Mor Nahum (Neurotherapy Lab) and Dr. Yafit Gilboa.
