Witbank Education & Autism Centre

About Us: 

We began our journey in 2013 as an aftercare centre with just 3 children. We recognized the lack of specialized care for children with autism and other special needs in our community, and parents began reaching out to us for support. Responding to this need, we've evolved to specialize in providing schooling and care for children with autism and other special needs, including ADHD.

Developmental Focus:

We work weekly on developing:

- Gross Motor Skills: balance, coordination, running, jumping, throwing, catching, and overall physical fitness

- Fine Motor Skills: hand-eye coordination, dexterity, drawing, writing, using utensils, buttoning, zipping, and manipulating small objects

- Socialisation: initiating and maintaining interactions, sharing, taking turns, cooperation, and developing friendships

 

Our Unique Approach:

Our Strength-Based Autism Support (SBAS) program is tailored to identify and build on each child's individual strengths and abilities. We provide tailored support to help each child thrive. We believe in focusing on each child's potential, rather than their limitations. Our approach is centered around empowering children to reach their full potential, building on their strengths. We continually strive for improvement, driven by the love and care we have for these incredible children. Our programs are designed to support children with various needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
