Face forward
Multidisciplinary community of therapists
The "With the Face Forward" community, founded in 2023 by Dr. Hadas Katz Sagi and Dr. Eyal Botzer, is a multidisciplinary professional community operating from a shared vision to advance the field of oral functions and child development with a broad, connected, and progressive approach. The community unites lactation consultants, developmental counselors, speech therapists, physical therapists, otolaryngologists, dentists, orthodontists, and other professionals, with the understanding that breathing, swallowing, speech, and jaw development are parts of one complete system, which directly affects the child's health and quality of life.
The spirit of community took on a particularly profound meaning after the events of the Shiv in October 2023 – out of a desire to choose to look ahead, to grow, to develop, and to create a healthier and better future for children. Just as children’s faces are meant to grow, develop, and open up – so too was a community born that seeks to lead a positive movement of progress, hope, and action.
The uniqueness of the community lies in the creation of a common professional language and true cooperation between fields that traditionally operated separately. The connection between professionals allows for a broader and deeper perspective, accurate diagnosis, and the construction of complete, continuous, and coordinated treatment processes.
Furthermore, the community is leading a change in perception: a shift from point-based treatment to a systemic, preventive, and holistic view.
"Face Forward" is much more than a professional platform – it is a movement of learning, connection, and continuous development. A place where up-to-date knowledge, teamwork, and early intervention come together, with the goal of creating a long-term impact and improving the quality of life of children and their families.
