About
Nofar Ben Itzhak is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on the intersection of visual function, motor development, and brain injury in children. Her work has been instrumental in elucidating how visual impairments—both sensory and functional—impact bimanual coordination and daily living skills in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. In her highly cited 2024 study, Ben Itzhak provided the first comprehensive evidence linking specific visual deficits (such as reduced acuity and stereopsis) to compromised bimanual hand use, offering a critical framework for targeted occupational therapy interventions. With over 10 citations in a short time, this work has already shaped clinical guidelines for assessment and treatment. Beyond this, Ben Itzhak’s broader research portfolio explores how early visual-motor integration predicts long-term functional outcomes, and she has been recognized with early-career awards for her innovative use of eye-tracking technology in pediatric populations. Her contributions are bridging the gap between visual science and motor rehabilitation, making her a vital voice for improving quality of life in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
