Carel Du Toit Centre Service
Audiology
- The responsibility of the Audiology Department is to ensure that the children attending the programme obtain maximum benefit from their hearing technology.
Speech Therapy
- At the school, all children over four years of age receive weekly speech therapy sessions, to which parents are encouraged to attend so that they can follow through on guidelines at home.
Medical Social Worker
- The medical social worker works with the deaf child and his or her family to assist the family unit to adjust to having a deaf child, to accept the reality of the situation and make the best thereof.
Occupational Therapy
- Occupational therapy at the Centre assists in the detection and treatment of conditions that frequently occur in children with hearing and speech impairment, which are detrimental to their development and daily function.
