Today is World Occupational Therapy Day!

We joined Free State Branch in celebration of 80 years of the existence of the profession in SA on Friday and it was such a special occasion!

To our team, OT isn't "just a job"... it is a calling, a passion, and an honour. We love what we do and we get to do it daily!

We are excited to welcome a brand new team member to the Sensory Roots team! Charlé, we hope that you will flourish, and we look forward to witnessing the difference you will make in the lives of the children you work with.

***

Charlé Coetzer obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of the Free State in 2023 and completed her community service year at Connie Vorster Memorial District Hospital in Hartswater.

From a young age, Charlé has been passionate about working with children and developed a strong interest in paediatrics from the very start of her studies. She enjoys engaging with children of all ages and firmly believes that early intervention can make a significant difference in a child’s development.

She has developed a special interest in working with children who experience sensory processing difficulties and plans to complete her Sensory Integration and DIR Floortime training in the near future. She particularly enjoys working in school-based settings with children who present with developmental delays and has recently completed her OPTIMA School Readiness training. In addition, she has a strong passion for early childhood development and aims to pursue further training to optimally support children in reaching their full potential.

Charlé’s personal motto is to “follow your own pace,” a philosophy she carries into her therapeutic approach. She values each child’s individuality and believes that every child grows and learns in their own time and in their own way.

Join us next week if your Grade 1 or Grade 4 child is finding the new school year a bit overwhelming!

The start of the school year can bring unexpected challenges—big emotions, difficulty keeping up, or changes in confidence and behaviour. If your child moved from Grade R to Grade 1 or Grade 3 to Grade 4 this year and you're noticing they’re finding it tough, there are ways to help!
