Sanette du Toit is a qualified Occupational Therapist with Specialisation in Sensory Integration Treatment. This is a rare Specialisation in South Africa and she has 35 years of experience as an OT. Sanette du Toit Occupational Therapists has been based at Vaalpark Primary since August 2020.  

🔍 Occupational Therapy looks at specific areas of a child’s functioning and needs:

• This can include fine motor skills, gross motor skills, visual perceptual skills, sensory integration, executive functioning and self care skills.
• If anything is wrong in any of these areas it can lead to things such as meltdowns, poor concentration, behavioural problems, social issues, sensory overload, inability to control emotions, clumsy/poor co-ordination, messy handwriting, problems with academics and many more challenges.
• An OT is trained to assess your child to identify the exact problem.
• From there they can determine the most effective and appropriate treatment plan for your child.
• With the right help, your child’s entire life can change.
