ANNUAL REPORT 2016

For 44 years the Carel du Toit Centre has been keeping the legacy of Professor Carel du Toit alive. Hearing impaired children can learn spoken language if there is early identification and there are no other complications. What a profound belief and what a privilege it has been for us to be a part of this institution. With your support, we are helping young children and their families realise that incredible philosophy is indeed a reality every day. At the Centre, services for hearing impaired children include early intervention and parent guidance from the moment a child’s hearing loss is diagnosed. From this point, there is continued learning intervention through a structured pre-primary school environment and foundation phase following the national CAPS curriculum. Supportive intervention and therapies from on-site audiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists help children to overcome challenges. Together with the teachers, these integral role-players offer a multidisciplinary team to produce the best outcome in the children’s speech-language acquisition.

The Carel du Toit Trust is the fundraiser for the Centre and endeavours to raise the funds needed to sustain the all-encompassing services provided on a daily basis. Fees are payable according to the family’s income and so the Trust also undertakes to secure sponsorship for all children in need of access to this unique service in the Western Cape. The Trust is effective because of the support we receive from you – our donors – so our successes, which are ultimately based on the integration of Carel du Toit children into the great big world, are yours too. Every donation of every size benefits the legacy we are continuing to uphold and we thank you whole-heartedly for your contributions. Together, your collective efforts and generosity impacts the life of a hearing impaired child for his or her lifetime, far beyond their enrolment at the Carel du Toit Centre. This annual report aims to highlight some of our successes with you, and provide a platform to show you how and where you have made your mark.

To teach deaf children to speak so that they can function optimally in a hearing world.

Vision

The Carel du Toit Centre serves as a resource centre

for mainstream schools.

We follow a natural language acquisition approach through the maximum use of the auditory modality and the application of auditory verbal principles.

• We believe that the hearing impaired child has the same capacity as normal hearing children to acquire functional spoken language.

• The hearing impaired child must be exposed to day-long listening through the use of appropriate hearing aids or a cochlear implant.

• A normal hearing environment is created – the same as for normal hearing children – where the hearing impaired child learns language through natural experiences and interaction.

• The intensive language learning environment leads the child to linguistic competence. This must extend into the school years and become a way of life.

Mission

Once again 2016 was a year of many challenges and again, we at Carel du Toit Centre, were blessed on the financial side with the receipt of donations and funding from both the public and our sponsors. All our budgetary expectations were met and I would like to thank all our staff and contributors for making it possible.

A special thank you must go to the financial department and the Trust’s fundraising department for their efforts during the year. I want to take the opportunity to share some of our successes during the past year: • Two of our teachers were awarded the following National Teaching Awards – Andrénette van der Merwe: Won first prize in District North, as well as a second place in the Western Cape for Grade R. – Liezel Smalberger: Won the second prize in District North for Special Needs.• In October 2016 we hosted a highly successful Golf Day in order to raise funds for the Testing Booth at the Chat Centre.• A 3-year strategic plan for the School Governing Body was developed and approved, and has already yielded great successes.

Without your loyal support and contributions, we would not have been able to have the successful year that we have had.

In closing I would like to give a special thank you to Ruth Bourne and wish her well on her new phase she started after retiring from Carel du Toit. To the new principal, Adri Combrinck, I know you will enjoy your journey in furthering the vision of positioning Carel du Toit Centre as the school of choice for hearing impaired children.

The teachers, therapists, and support staff are of world class standard and their commitment towards the learners and The Carel du Toit Centre are extraordinary.

To my fellow board members, it is with a warm heart that I leave the Centre in capable hands. It was an honour to serve with you. Thank you for your commitment and dedication during the past two years.

Writing my final report as the principal of the Carel du Toit Centre, I find myself not only reflecting on 2016 but on nearly four decades of witnessing the remarkable works of the Centre’s staff dedicating their expertise and passionate determination to bring about the best outcomes for our hearing impaired children. Each year that has passed has presented great achievements one after the other and 2016 was no exception. I can truly say that I am proud!

Each staff member has had one goal in mind, and that is to help our learners develop to their maximum potential. Our 2016 learners have grown in communication skills and self-confidence before our eyes. We have introduced more extramural activities and thanks to the generosity of the Rotary Club of Bristol Breakfast in the UK, a new netball court was built for our budding sports enthusiasts and netball is now officially added to our list of sports. In addition, the learners have had ballet and drama classes and 14 boys and girls participated in the eisteddfod, achieving between them an average of 82%.

We have always believed in the importance of continual self-improvement and all our staff, both professional and non-professional, have participated in workshops and seminars during the course of the year. The Carel du Toit staff have shared their expertise with other professionals by offering training and workshops – most notably the workshop to teachers in mainstream schools in February and the popular Information Day in September, focused on paediatric hearing loss.

Our teachers and therapists are of the highest professional calibre and two of our teachers, Liezel Smalberger and Andrénette van der Merwe were nominated for the 2016 National Teaching Awards. Andrénette received the award for the Top Achiever in the category of Excellence in Grade R Teaching.

Head of Speech Therapy, Jenni Bester, received a Certificate of Acknowledgement for Outstanding Contribution and Support to the District in Speech Therapy at the Metro North Education District Awards.

Many visitors have passed through our doors, but the one who caused the greatest excitement amongst the children was Dyan Buis, 2016 paralympian who earned gold and bronze medals at the recent Rio 2016 Paralympics. He inspired our learners with his words of encouragement to believe in one’s self and never give up.

The School Governing Body, under the chairmanship of Helette Slabber, has provided strong leadership and guidance ensuring good governance and stability in the school and I would like to thank the committee members for their commitment to the school.

Having started my teaching career at the Carel du Toit Centre in 1978, and having taken over as principal in 2008, it is now time for me to hand over the reins to a new principal. There is a special place in my heart for each member of the Carel du Toit staff – past and present.

It has been a privilege to be a part of this dynamic programme. When Prof. Carel du Toit initiated this programme in 1971 – before the establishment of the Centre in 1973 - his methodology was considered unique and experimental. Today, everything that he believed in has been proven to be correct and we now know without a shadow of doubt, that the child born deaf has the same capacity to acquire spoken language as any other child.

I wish the new principal all the best and know that the Carel du Toit Centre’s methodology and management will be looked after and that hearing impaired children will continue to have the opportunity to take their place in the hearing world.

Each year it becomes harder for the Carel du Toit Trust to raise funds for the children of the Carel du Toit School and their satellites. Their mission, “Where deaf Children learn to speak”.

This is understandable as we are not unaffected by what is currently happening in the South African economy. For some time now, the economy is on the brink of a recession and had consistently showed low percentages of GDP growth. This has had a huge impact on the trust fund’s fund raising efforts as we are very dependent on Corporate donations.

The more Corporate donors are under pressure in a challenging economic environment, the more we are under pressure. We have often found that our Corporate donors do not have the same amount of money available as in previous years for charitable causes despite their best intentions.

Despite the above, it is with great relief that I can report back that we have yet again reached our fund raising target and were in the position to meet our financial commitment towards the school and its satellites.

To put things in perspective, despite the fact that the Carel du Toit school at the Tygerberg Hospital is a fully owned government school, the government only contribute 18% of the schools running expenses. The rest of the money to balance the budget, must come from either the Carel du Toit Trust fundraising team or from the school fees of parents.

On the subject of school fees, again we are witnessing first hand the devastating effect of the difficult economic climate on the Carel du Toit schools parents ability to pay school fees.

Already, the big majority of the school children are from previously disadvantage areas where paying school feels always remains a challenge despite the fees being determined by a sliding scale depending on the household income. Monthly school fees could be as low as R49 and even that can be a challenge for the school to collect.

This leaves the Carel du Toit trust responsible to ensure that the school budget balances at the end of each year and that the school may continue to do its amazing work, ensuring a hopeful future for deaf children.

Speaking as a past pupil of the Carel du Toit school, I can only emphasise how important it is to teach deaf children to hear and talk, because without speech, they cannot become positive contributing members of the South African economic environment. Early intervention is critical in making a success of hearing for these children. Please join us in this cause, investing in mostly previously disadvantage children and disabled children’s futures. You financial contributions are making a huge difference.

As my own life is a testimony, once one can master the gift of speech, the sky is the limit.

Our donors have done it once again and secured the operations of the Trust and the Centre for 2016. In addition, another 10 corporates partnered with the Trust and we were able to support 28 hearing impaired children and their families with full financial school year support, as well as the hearing aid repairs and transport costs of the Centre to mention a few.

We are constantly evaluating and measuring ourselves against our achievements with the focus on the future. With this in mind 2016 has been a challenging year; establishing a strong ground base for marketing and building on fundraising with the emphasis on individual donor contributions, finding our feet in new areas of development which includes online contributions and a data management system, considering the past to predict the future and embracing change. The year has given us the opportunity to re-align ourselves with the mission and vision of the Trust and we look forward to 2017.

Serving the hearing impaired children of the Centre is what it is all about. Everything we hope and dream of is to build better futures for our children and future generations of hearing impaired children across Africa. Your continued support is keeping the Trust sustained and your generosity is securing the future for the hearing impaired child to reach a greater potential. We value and appreciate every contribution and are grateful for the opportunity to serve.

The theme for 2016 was YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

To kickstart the year we hosted our CHATerrific gathering in February for parents to be inspired by one another. Johan, Singathwa, Nazmeera and Naydine are four parents, joined through circumstance, who told their unique stories to other parents. It was a morning of inspiration, wisdom and testimony to the power of sharing.

These are some of the comments shared that day...“It’s a long journey. It’s a journey you don't prepare yourself for but it’s an exciting journey. All this uncertainty you feel now, you will look back on it and it won’t be the end of your world. It’s the beginning of an exciting journey.”

“ I had to admit my child is a deaf child. I was in a world of denial. We didn't want to tell friends, we didn't want to tell anybody. And one day she (Mbali) just say 'Mama' and my tears fell.”

"I never wish for our situation to be different. I don’t wish Mustafaa could hear and I don’t wish he didn’t have hearing aids. In fact I am grateful to God for this miracle. This experience can be described as magical. I never imagined a parent’s role to be this great and what impact you make on your child’s life."

“When this thing happened we thought it was the worst thing that could happen to you and to your children and now…..So What? It has taught us about life and about people and yes, it made us human."

Support groups in the Social Worker’s office are a powerful force for healing and we have added a Xhosa Group to the service, much needed for

mothers to share their stories in their mother-tongue. Xoliswa our Educational Psychology intern facilitated the group and has been invaluable in sharing insights into Xhosa culture with the staff. Understanding the beliefs of families help us guide families. Xoliswa also acted as Sign Interpreter for deaf parents who are choosing to raise their babies bilingually in spoken language and sign.

Along with regular weekly sessions for families with their Early Interventionists(EI), the CHATTERBOX group for moms and tots continued, as well as Skype sessions with families who are unable to access the CHAT Centre.

New to our services this year was Mainstream Daycare Support. An interactive workshop for carers helping them to feel comfortable with hearing technology and to understand the importance of daylong listening. Jonene Johnson, one of our moms officially offered Parent 2 Parent support and in June this year she had the opportunity to attend the Family-Centered Early Intervention (FCEI) conference in Austria. The conference was attended by 400 delegates - mostly professionals - from 39 different countries. The EI team also attended conferences in Johannesburg, with Barbara and Jenni presenting Red Flags In Early Intervention and in so doing, held the Carel du Toit CHAT Centre flag high.

We anticipate an increase in numbers of families enrolled and our team is ready to provide the support necessary to help them overcome any challenges they may have.

Children with hearing loss are not just little adults when it comes to managing their hearing technology. They require more intensive and qualified services as well as specialised paediatric hearing technology that will enable them to learn and benefit from the rehabilitation services provided at the Carel du Toit Centre. It thus remains our top priority to ensure that the children who access our programme receive the best possible services promptly while using the appropriate technology.

We are proud of the fact that we continue to provide outreach audiology support where possible. For instance, we provided pro-bono electrophysiology services to 11 infants referred by the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital for audiological diagnosis in a collaborative attempt to decrease waiting times for diagnostic services. It enabled young infants and families to have prompt appointments and quick access to the wonderful support services offered at our CHAT Centre.

We received 85 new referrals this year of which 85% arrived for their assessments. This is significantly more than in previous years. It means that, this year we had 72 new assessments for admission to the programme of which we have enrolled 87% of into our CHAT programme and 32% into the school. It’s important to consider that we have taken over the audiological management of 58% of the 72 families referred. This is equivalent to an additional full-time audiologist position that is presently sourced from our current department of two Audiologists.

With the wonderful roll-out of pocketed new-born hearing screening in the government sector (as initiated by our Community Outreach Programme), we are thrilled to say that almost a quarter of our admissions to the programme were infants under 12 months of age. We hope to see this number steadily improving in the years to come. Timeously, our paediatric screening booth at the CHAT Centre has been completed through a very generous donation and now we are holding thumbs that we will be able to secure donor support to purchase the equipment to be used in the room.

Our annual Information Day aimed at Professionals with the theme “Myths Debunked: Paediatric Hearing Loss”, occurred during Deaf Awareness Month. Our hall was filled to capacity and our attendees complimented us on the programme presented. This has become a staple event in the diaries of professionals working with children in the Peninsula.

We are enthusiastic about our paediatric hearing loss interest group that we initiated this year. It allows professionals across private practice and the government sector to meet quarterly and discuss relevant topics about children with hearing loss. Some of the topics that we have delved deeper into included ABR testing, REM measures, infant mental health, psycho-social development of children with hearing loss, Bimodalism and many more. We currently have more than 25 members and believe that our group will grow in the future. There are already changes in clinical practice and we firmly hope that it will continue to advance the services children receive elsewhere.

We were invited to be part of the Sivantos paediatric hearing aid group in the development of a new hearing aid for children for this manufacturer.

Through the considerate donations from BOK Radio as well as the Wetterhahn foundation, we managed to fit 8 children with new technology hearing aids. These hearing aids are made for children and have provided our children with significantly improved hearing in noise. It is our biggest goal to allow all our children the opportunity to make use of technology that provide the best access to sound, are robust, water resistant and allows for the best possible sound signal to be delivered to the brain.

Our second hand loan bank is almost depleted as we have fitted 33 hearing aids to be used by children without suitable technology.

Speech Therapy All children over the age of four years old attend weekly speech therapy sessions on-site. The Carel du Toit Centre has one speech therapist allocated by the Western Cape Government: Health, another speech therapist employed by the School Governing Body, and the third speech therapist is currently undertaking her community service with the Carel du Toit Centre.

Social Worker The Centre’s Social Worker assists the hearing impaired child and family unit to adjust to the change that lies ahead. Parent-to-parent support groups help the families to mend and learn from each other through sharing their real-life experiences. The Social Worker works closely with all other therapists to assist and guide the family in their process of managing their circumstance and having to make decisions that will result in the best outcome for their children.

Occupational Therapy Occupational therapy at the Centre assists in the detection and treatment of conditions that frequently occur in children with hearing and speech impairments, which are detrimental to their development and daily function. These conditions are related to motor, sensory and visual perceptual functions and their participation in activities of daily living.

Transport The Centre provides transport services for learners to and from the school to ensure that children are present each day. The costs are enormous and many families are just unable to foot the bill, over and above school fees. The Centre is currently transporting over 70% of learners to school in the morning and back home in the afternoon and costs rise each year with the increases in fuel and maintenance of vehicles to keep the Centre’s children safe on the roads and in class on a daily basis.

Aftercare The aftercare service at the Carel du Toit Centre is a caring environment provided for more than half of our total learners. Some children wait for their parents to collect them en route from work, while others require a halfway house while waiting for the school’s transport services. Monetary donations and sponsorship of goods sustain this service and we are ever thankful for the generosity of all who contributed in 2016.

Additional Supportive Therapies and Services

2016 – Oh what a year! The Speech Therapy Department continued to provide over 100 speech therapy sessions per week, focussing on the development of communication skills and articulation therapy where needed. With the Education Department only providing the Centre with one therapy post, we had to appoint our own therapists via the School Governing Body. Delanie Smit is still in a permanent SGB post, with Carmen Roux accompanying her 3 days per week. Barbara Kellett also provides Speech Therapy along with early intervention on behalf of the Cochlear Implant team of Tygerberg Hospital. The Cochlear Implant team also welcomed our 2015 Community Service Speech Therapist, Ulfah Abrahams on to their team for 2 days per week. We were fortunate to also have a Community Service Speech Therapist, Mushfiqoh Kamaldien, employed by the Western Cape Government: Health.

Apart from growing in numbers, we continued to grow our knowledge through training. Delanie and Carmen completed an advanced course on the Read for Africa programme. Jenni, Delanie and Carmen attended the SACIG (South African Cochlear Implant Group) training in May, as well as talks by Warren Estabrooks. Jenni and Barbara also attended a workshop on the improved and altered principles of Auditory Verbal Therapy. Not only did we attend workshops, some of us also presented at different workshops. Jenni and Barbara represented the Carel du Toit Centre at the SACIG conference by doing a presentation on Factors Influencing Clinical Decision Making.

Jenni also did a presentation on communication disorders for social workers and psychologists at the Metro North Education Department in March. Delanie had the opportunity to do a presentation for Kinetic Kids and pre-school educators on meaningful listening and listening development.

Our Community Service Speech Therapist assisted us with our outreach project for this year. With us being a resource centre for the Education Department, we continued to do outreach at Goeie Hoop Primary School in 2016. The outreach project involves the provision of classroom intervention aimed at building early literacy and listening skills for learners at the school. Mushfiqoh visited the school weekly on Fridays. We also continued to assist the Education Department with therapy support for mainstream schools in our Metro by conducting 12 speech and language assessments, as well as hearing tests for children referred by the District Office.

With a busy year behind us, we are excited for the challenges and journey ahead in 2017!

The Trustees are required by the Non-profit Organisations Act, No. 71 of 1997, to maintain adequate accounting records and are responsible for the content and integrity of the financial statements and related financial information included in this report. It is their responsibility to ensure that the financial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the company as at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities. The external auditor is engaged to express an independent opinion on the financial statements.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities and are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates.

The Trustees acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal financial control established by the trust and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. To enable the trustees to meet these responsibilities, the trustees set standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost effective manner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout the Trust and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the Trust’s business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of risk management in the Trust is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all known forms of risk across the Trust. While operating risk cannot be fully

eliminated, the Trust endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and ethical behaviour are applied and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints.

The Trustees are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management, that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the financial statements. However, any system of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Trustees have reviewed the Trust’s cash flow forecast for the year to 31 December 2016 and, in the light of this review and the current financial position, they are satisfied that the Trust has or has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The independent auditors are responsible for independently evaluating and reporting on the Trust's annual financial statements. The annual financial statements have been examined by the Trust's independent auditors.

The annual financial statements set out on pages 24 to 29, which have been prepared on the going concern basis, were approved by the board of Trustees on 15 May 2017.

ConclusionAnd so we have come to the end of our 2016 Annual Report. We trust that you have enjoyed reading our year in review as much as we have enjoyed sharing it with you. We are humbled by the donations and gifts received each year from all who give and pledge their support to provide a sustained service for the Carel du Toit Centre's children and families. The monetary donations and gifts-in-kind you bestow upon us make it possible to empower hearing impaired children to hear, speak and aim high.

It makes us proud to witness the progression of spoken language and confidence in the children and those developments are enabled by donor funding and support from the Western Cape Government. No matter the size, your giving hearts have made it all possible.

Thank you for your continued support. We value your contribution and are honoured to be your charity of choice. Working together for the benefit of the children we serve, we have a lasting effect on their potential to integrate and thrive beyond the Carel du Toit Centre.
