Occupational Therapist
We have our own occupational Therapist, at school that assists the junior learners with reading perceptual and co-ordination problems. New learners are evaluated scholastically for placement in Jim van Tonder School.
Learners with specific problems receive therapy individually or in small groups. Once a week all the junior learners attend a perceptual program on computer. The aim is to improve their observational and concentration skills in order to be more successful in reading and other practical skills. This program also improves their basic computer skills.
Learners with emotional problems are supported and/or referred when necessary.
Learners with physical problems are helped in order to equip every learner to reach their full potential and to become the best they can be.
