Tanja Kuter, mother of two children with special needs, has decided to make a difference in their lives, and the lives of children with similar challenges.
As such, Kuter started the Miracle Hands support group for children with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), believes that although children with special needs are challenging, they need understanding, support and love.
“I strongly believe in my cause and my dream is to one day soon open a school for these children in Welkom.”
Kuter has already starting laying the foundation for this step, and has at her disposal a well equipped and colourful classroom, along with an established safe environment for the children to play and develop.
Her daughter, Raynandi Nel (10), was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at four years old. Her son, Raynhardt (6), has ADHD.
“My group has been recognised and registered with the Department of Social Development. I will be able to accommodate 20 children under the age of 15 years.”
She has completed courses to help these children, and has experts in their fields offering courses like Monkeynastix to the group.
Kuter wants to provide an array of auxiliary services and support structures for the children, including play art and occupational therapy.
“My passion is to make a difference, and by the grace of God I will be able to achieve this,” says Kuter.
