Education for Andriaan

This entailed a prescription for meds to stabilize his anxiety levels and improve his averall well-being. A person with autism perceive life in a different manner. Their sensory levels are extremely high which in turn, can lead to misunderstandings. On the other hand, they are empathetic, trustworthy, extremely precise and focused on detail. We were worried for Andriaan's well being when it was time for him to attend school. After two school terms, we realised that Andriaan could not cope in the mainstream. Emotionally he was suffering. For four years Andriaan attended a school for children with disabilities. We felt a deep sense of sadness because we wanted the best for Andriaan, but we also did not want him to struggle. It was important to us that he is happy and content. After a few years, academics were introduced and it was suggested that Andriaan enroll in the programme. He surprised us by adjusting realy well. Throughout Andriaan's academic journey, he showed resilience and dedication. Although writing and spelling was a challenge, he persevered and achieved good grades. We were able to afford Andriaan's schoolfees, but as he succeeded to higher grades it became expensive. Andriaan is enrolled at a Tutor Centre in Wellington. Impaq curriculum is applied which is a CAPS registered Homeschooling organization. They are an organization devoted to learners with  learning disabilities and try to make it a positive and fun experience. The monthly Centre fees is R3 500, excluding the fees of Impaq. We usually finalize the total sum for twelve months. For 2024 the total payment will be R13 041, 60. Because we pay a once off amount, a  discount of 10% is approved. Adminfees are R600, stationary R600 and books R2360, 00. Homeschooling for persons with learning disabilities are expensive and for a sole provider, my husband is struggling to gather the funds. Andriaan works very hard and achieves good grades. He understands that he must have a matric sertificate to seek a job. He strive to finish his education and be a independent and responsible citizen. We will be extremely grateful if any donation 

can help him achieve his goal.
