Programme and Activities
Pathways Roodepoort offers a holistic programme that promotes the development of the whole child. Trained staff provide one on one therapy and stimulation, with the goal of rehabilitation and enabling the child to reach their full potential.

An individual program is formulated around the needs of each child and specific activities are adapted to suit each child.

Example: Weekly Program

Morning Ring
During morning ring, we sing greeting songs, discuss the day of the week, the weather, the weekly theme and birthdays.

Literacy and Numeracy Activities
To promote cognitive development and expand knowledge and language acquisition, we provide our children with the opportunity to explore literacy and numeracy in a fun and exciting way suited to their level of understanding.

Computer Time
We offer computer activities using accessible hardware and software, using switches and a special keyboard. The children thoroughly enjoy using the computers, as they are able to operate the computers independently and receive a lot of feedback.

Sensory and Messy Play
We have a sensory tent, filled with attractive things to stimulate all the senses. Messy play is a favourite activity, our children enjoy lots of different and sometimes quite yummy things to make a big mess with. Jelly and chocolate pudding is always a winner.

Swimming Therapy
Swimming therapy comes out tops as a favourite for every one of our children. We take our children twice a week to swimming lessons in an indoor heated pool at The Swimming Academy in Helderkruin. The Swimming Academy kindly volunteer their services to us. Thanks Shaun Berman

Horseriding Therapy
We take our children to horseriding therapy once a week to SARDA in Ruimsig, Horse riding not only provides enormous amounts of pleasure, but is also very therapeutic and relaxes spastic muscles. SARDA also volunteers their service to Pathways, Thanks ladies!

Music Therapy
A Music teacher volunteers her services once a week, giving children a fun filled music class where they get to experience playing with instruments, dancing and singing Thanks Frances!.

Gross Motor Skills and Fine Motor Skills
Neurodevelopment therapy and sensory integration activities are provided under the direction of qualified therapists specific to each child's needs. The development of fine motor skills is promoted with art and play activities.

Alternative and Augmentative Communication
Many of our children are non verbal, and we promote alternative forms of communication throughout the day.

Independent Skills
We also encourage independent skills throughout the day like toilet training, self feeding and dressing.

Outdoor Play
Our children love to play on the outdoor apparatus and enjoy water and sand play.
         

Most Importantly, our children are given lots of cuddles and enormous amounts of LOVE!
