“In the years that I have been practicing Occupational Therapy it has become clear that there are so few places that children with special needs can feel at home and progress at their own pace. Karen and Estee have created just such an environment where children with special needs can feel safe and thrive. Their passion for the children as well as their qualifications makes them the perfect people to assist children with special needs to develop their skills and functioning.

I am very excited to see the progress made by each of the children at Situla. It has been a wonderful experience to see them thrive because of the individual attention to their specific goals.”

“Situla was vir ons ‘n ‘one-stop solution’ en ‘n antwoord op elke gebed. Elke vorm van terapie is beskikbaar! Ons dogtertjie het vining aangepas, nie eers een dag gehuil nie en het baie geheg geraak aan al die personeel. Ons het binne die eerste twee weke gemerk dat sy meer interaktief is. Sy luister, antwoord en gee aandag. Daar’s meelewing. Alles nuwe dinge waaroor ons baie opgewonde is, en baie dankbaar voor is. Dankie Situla vir elke beantwoorde gebed, en elke ekstra myl en terapie! Ons waardeer julle so baie!”

“Iemand het my verwys na Situla Kleuterskool. Die fantastiese onderwyseresse daar is toegespits om leerbehoeftes by kinders te identifiseer, uit te wys en hul dus dan te rehabiliteer deur arbeidsterapie, spraakterapie, spelterapie en kinderkinetika terapiesessies weekliks aan te bied in hul dagprogram. Hulle het absoluut ‘n passie vir kinders wat individuele leerbehoeftes het.”

“At the beginning the school worked with therapists on a detailed assessment of milestones and put together a list of all the activities he needed to start working on. They immediately started working with him and the results have been amazing. Within a week at the school he began to imitate language, take instructions and has been making progress with his vocabulary and expressing himself.  On large motor skills, he has done extremely well. He immediately started to gain lost ground and can now play and jump like any other three year old.  Emotionally he is developing very well and can even play with his brother at home, something that was near impossible in the past. On fine motor skills: he can now draw a circle, cut with a scissor, put his shoes on, and many others he was not able to do. All these were accomplished in just a few months after starting at Situla.”
