Remedial Department
We believe in being the best that you can be, therefore our philosophy is: “All learners have the right to: read, learn and write.”
Every learner in Grade 1 – 6 receives remedial therapy in a class group. Learners in Grade 1 - 3 receive therapy twice a week and learners in Grade 4 - 6, once a week.
Because we understand how to best assist and support a child with learning difficulties, we use the Audiblox program in our therapy sessions.
What is Audiblox?Audiblox is a multisensory cognitive enhancement program, aimed at the development of foundational learning skills such as concentration, perception, memory, and logical thought. It improves performance in reading, spelling, writing and math. Audiblox is adaptable for the gifted and less gifted and is applicable for all age groups. It can develop the learning skills of the high school learner to a very high degree, while it can also be used to prepare the preschool child for reading and learning from as early as three years of age. Audiblox is effective for a variety of learning difficulties including dyslexia and dysgraphia.
Targets 22 perceptual skills necessary for learning, in only one lesson.
