Special Needs Care for Children and Young Adults with Learning and Physical Disabilities

As a leading specialist care provider in the Gauteng area, we have established a specialized facility, including a Learning centre, Residential/boarding facility, and Respite Care for Children and Young Adults with learning and physical Disabilities

We aim to help our children grow in confidence as they acquire skills that support their independence, health and self-esteem. We aim to build their self-confidence, self-care and independence.

Learning Centre & Specialised Facility/Respite Care

Our Approach
Our approach is holistic and multidisciplinary. We conduct comprehensive assessments to understand each child's strengths and needs, leading to the development of individualized education plans and behaviour management plans. Our team of experienced educators, therapists, and care support staff work together to create a comprehensive care plan for each child.

Special Care Facilities

We offer a comprehensive day care program where our children, each with an individual education/care plan, learn to reach their full potential within a fun and stimulating setting.
- A large soft Play area with a large ball pool for therapies and fun.
- A sensory room, filled with an array of multisensory resources.
- There is a comfy, cosy, television lounge with DSTV, big sofas, a fitted kitchen, and a dining area where our young people can enjoy meals and snacks and work on those all-important independent life skills.
- Our other facilities include a large garden with open spaces to develop a sense of freedom within a safe and supervised environment. Within the garden there are climbing frames and equipment; grassy areas are plentiful for outdoor play, and a large swimming pool and vegetable garden.
We aspire to provide a safe, homely atmosphere, where young people are comfortable, confident and happy.

For us, it’s about more than just accommodation and personal care. Our service provides a safe and supportive environment where your child can develop their independence, build confidence and pursue their goals through an enriched curriculum.

Whilst we cannot match exactly everything that individual families provide, we do strive to reproduce a family environment and a homely atmosphere.

We have nurses available 24 hours per day, who work closely with care support staff to monitor and assess students’ health needs.
