At Northern Lights where education is from children up to Grade 12, they take each child’s handicap into consideration, and attention is given to perceptual stimulation and training. All their children with specific tuition needs, receive tuition individually or in small groups, under guidance, and in co-operation with the Occupational and Speech Therapists.
Children who have a communication disorder are fortunate that at Northern Lights School they can receive therapy and learn to communicate more effectively.
The speech therapist aims to develop the children’s abilities to communicate. By improving breath control and control of the speech organs, more distinct and intelligible speech is obtained. Where speech isn’t possible, they help with developing an alternative means of communication.
Provision is also made for hearing-impaired children to develop their understanding and use of language.

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.
