Under the auspices of Viv van Staden, an educational psychologist with many years experience in education, remedial and children with special needs, the Unit has a number of experienced psychologists and therapists working in teams. These teams conduct assessments locally and nationally. These assessments are diagnostic intended to recommend the specific support needed to a child so that he/ she reaches full learning potential in the school going years. Currently the assessments on offer include: Educational Assessment Screening for Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Ed Psych Assessment (WISC IV and emotional) Speech and Language Assessment Occupational Therapy Assessment As of January 2010 we will have an audiologist on site. BATU assists the school by both recommending candidates for remedial school placement and sharing the depth of expertise the staff embodies. The Bellavista Assessment and Training Unit is also responsible for hosting evening talks for parents, educators and therapists on current and relevant topics. Workshops for teacher training are offered in the afternoons as advertised. These events are advertised in the school's weekly newsletter, but also to a large email data base. Bellavista parents and any other member of the community are always welocme to attend.
