Avigail was born in 1974, the third of eight children. She got her first teaching job in 1996, in a school for immigrant children in queens New York. That same year, she ran a Sunday school for Jewish public-school children.
She got her B.A. from Touro College and completed her graduate studies at the graduate school for Special Education in Manhattan, New York. She married Daniel Gimpel in 1998 while teaching in an all-boys Jewish orthodox elementary school. In this school, she developed an intervention program for students struggling with ADHD symptoms.
She and Daniel moved to Israel soon after their marriage. Avigail continued her education there, where she read to children with dyslexia and earned advanced degrees in teaching and cognitive education for children with ADHD symptoms. In 2003, she and her husband, with three small children, moved to Moscow, Russia. There she taught in three different schools and supervised the English department in one of the schools.
Upon her return to Israel, she immersed herself in studying and developing treatment options for ADHD for her own six kids and many struggling students. She collaborated with her father-in-law, Dr. Amnon Gimpel (psychiatrist and neurologist), and developed a parent training program. She also developed a teacher’s training program. Avigail teaches at Hertzog College and lectures in Israeli schools and to parent groups all over Israel. She works in private practice, training parents to become ADHD coaches to their children, while spouses learn a new love language to communicate with respect.
She recently published her first book, “HyperHealing,” based on many years of research and practice, both as a mother of children diagnosed with ADHD, as well as a classroom teacher of children struggling with ADHD symptoms. Her second book, "HyperHealing, Show Me the Science," is expected to be published in the next few months.
