School-based support

We have a school-based support team (SBST) at Orban to help parents and teachers make decisions about assessments and support interventions, which may be required by specific children. The team can provide counselling; play, remedial, occupation and speech therapy; and psychological and scholastic assessments. Parents are free to use any service provider of their choice – the SBST is there for in-school support and convenience.

Claire Wilson co-ordinates the SBST and acts as the Head of Department of Orban’s school-based support. She can be contacted on 083 708 4704 or sbst@orban.co.za.
