Occupational Therapist
We have our own Occupational Therapist at the school who assists learners with reading, perceptual and coordination problems. Learners with physical challenges are helped if possible. Where learners withemotional problems are identified, support are provided and/or referred if necessary. Learners receive therapy individually or in small groups. New learners are evaluated scholastically for placement in Jim van Tonder School.
Once a week, all the Orientaton 1 learners attend a perceptual program on computer. Perception is your brain’s ability to receive and understand the information you see, hear, feel, etc. and are some of the building blocks that are needed to make reading and writing possible. The aim of the perception program is therefore to improve the learner’s visual perception, memory, concentration and hand-eye coordination in order to be more successful in reading and other practical skills. This program also improves their basic computer skills.
The aim of occupational therapy is to equip every learner to reach his/her full potential, in order to become the best they can be!
