The school caters for a variety of learners with special needs and they have kids from three to eighteen years of age.Their students all have various special needs and disabilities which is why they can’t cope in mainstream schools.
They cater for students who have suffered from head injuries as well as students who have other disabilities like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscle dystrophy, osteogenesis etc.
Our goal is to assist learners to reach their full potential, and speech and occupational therapists come into the classes for group and individual therapy.
Their Speech Therapy is aimed at the specific unique needs of students. The therapists help with developing auditory perceptual and language skills, and the physically disabled students are given assistance with feeding, breath control, voice production and articulation of speech sounds.

Occupational- and Speech Therapists in Somerset West felt the need for some of their stroke patients who were feeling isolated because of not being able to communicate properly and to get together with other stroke patients for mutual support. This was the start of the Helderberg Stroke Support Group.
The Group has expanded since they were established, and a Speech Therapy group was started because they realised that one of the most devastating effects of a stroke is loss of speech and language.A speech therapist can help recover these communication skills.
Stroke patients often know what they wants to say, but cannot coordinate the muscle movements which are necessary to say the word.
Intervention by a Speech Therapist can help the patient to comprehend and communicate more effectively, and to be able to function better in his environment.
