Sinethemba’s children need 24 hour supervision and care due to their
disabilities being severe and profound. Our Caring focus is to assist those
children who have the ability to become as independent as possible. Children
that attend Sinethemba have a variety of caring needs including supervision,
feeding, re-positioning, play and nappy changes to name but a few. Caring
also extends into teaching socially acceptable behaviour and how to
communicate (whether it is verbally, through Makaton or the PEG system)
and basic concepts. Our Carers also play a big role, alongside our Therapists,
in implementing the Learning Programme on a daily basis. As part of our care,
we provide a balanced lunch, which is for many of our children, the only
nutritious meal for the day.
