Paediatric Epilepsy Training 🧠

We were privileged to welcome Professor Gail Sher, who presented to our team on seizures and epilepsy yesterday.

The session equipped us with valuable knowledge about epilepsy, practical guidance on what to do when a child experiences a seizure, and the importance of individualised management and care plans.

One of our occupational therapists, Elana Kirshenbaum, joined Simone Herring on Out the Box today to chat about sensory overload and regulation in all children, including those with ADHD, autism and learning difficulties.

They explored what’s behind these big reactions and how we can better support children when they feel overwhelmed.

Spring Day was extra special this year as we celebrated Ben’s birthday together! Our learners had such fun riding mini electric cars with Zoom With Zebra , while also enjoying bright colours, spring hats, crafts and flower planting.

A very special thank you to Ben and his family for sponsoring the celebration and choosing to share such a special day with our CCC family 💙💚 Sarah Berger

Today at the CCC, our Speech Therapists and Audiologists had an engaging and insightful session on Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) with the wonderful Ameera Thokan.

Auditory processing refers to how the brain interprets and makes sense of sound, even when hearing itself is normal. Auditory processing has a significant impact on communication, listening, and learning.

We are excited to take forward the fresh ideas and current research shared during Ameera’s presentation.

A big thank you to Ameera for such a valuable talk!

🇿🇦🩵 Mandela day 2026 🩵🇿🇦

Today, our little learners partnered with Finger Tips of Africa and showed that even the smallest hands can make the biggest difference! Together, they lovingly packed and decorated 67 packs of crayons and colouring books for underprivileged children.

Every drawing, every sticker, and every colourful touch was added with love, kindness, and the hope of bringing a smile to another child’s face.
