Her training gained her unprecedented experience in assessing and treating patients suffering from medical/neurological challenges, including among them stroke, head injury, cancer, amputees, Spina Bifida, CP, Parkinson's, MS, autism/Asperger’s, ADD/ADHD etc. She conducts psycho-educational and neuro-cognitive assessments of functioning placing an emphasis on the emotional impact of each emotional/learning/medical/neurological diagnosis: evaluating as well the patient's ability to learn, work, regulate their emotions and engage in interpersonal relationships. She can monitor change over time and make suggestions for interventions to enable the client to function to their highest potential. Dr. Rothstein’s approach is to identify the areas of relative strengths and weaknesses and then empower the client to use their strengths to cope as effectively and independently as possible. She accepts patients in her private clinic in Efrat.  She has given workshops and lectures on stress management, coping with illness, sensory integration deficits, ADHD, ASD and emotional regulation. She is often called upon for consultations by schools and physicians.
