ABOUT ME

Lize-Mari van Niekerk,

We take a neurodiverse-affirming stance, celebrating each child’s individuality and building on their strengths to help them navigate their world with confidence.

 

Our family-centered philosophy means we partner closely with parents and caregivers, listening to your insights and goals to craft personalized strategies that fit seamlessly into your daily life. Whether it’s enhancing motor skills, supporting sensory needs, or fostering independence, we’re here to empower your child—and your family—every step of the way.
