Meet Yolande Botes
Yolande Botes is a qualified Occupational Therapist based in Kimberley, Northern Cape, with over two decades of experience helping children succeed academically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to function effectively in their daily school life. This includes improving focus, concentration, learning readiness, organisation, study habits and emotional regulation — all of which directly impact academic performance.
If your child is intelligent but struggles with focus, homework, studying, retaining information, or coping with school demands, occupational therapy can help. Many children who underperform academically are dealing with underlying processing or concentration challenges rather than a lack of ability.
Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive training method that helps the brain learn to function more efficiently. It does not involve medication or electrical stimulation. Children simply receive feedback while the brain is being trained to improve focus, calmness and learning readiness.
Every child is different. Some children show improvements in focus and behaviour within a few sessions, while others benefit from a structured programme over a longer period. Yolande monitors progress closely and adapts training based on each child’s response.
Yolande works with learners from primary school through to high school. Services are tailored to the child’s developmental stage, academic demands and individual challenges.
