About us
Pathways Roodepoort is a stimulation centre for children and young adults with severe mental and physical disabilities
At our Centre we provide our children with carefully planned opportunities to reach their highest potential. It is extremely exciting to witness their progress and share with them their experience of joy through interaction!
Volunteer professionals, such as Speech therapists, Occupational therapists and Physiotherapists also assist Pathways staff members with advice and practical guidance in designing appropriate stimulation and therapeutic programs for each child.
Each child receives one-on-one attention through the implementation of the unique, holistic program we create around their special needs.

Why we need your help
Children who are afflicted with severe mental and physical impairments abound in all communities. They are however seldom catered for by schooling institutes or special care units and therefore become neglected and deprived of the care and stimulation that they require.
Believing that these unique individuals cannot progress and learn, cannot be further from the truth and it’s for this reason that in Roodepoort, parents of children with special needs have formed Pathways Roodepoort, which is a stimulation centre for children with severe mental and physical impairments.
