Dr. Beulah van der Westhuizen, an award winning entrepreneur and educational psychologist, has a legacy of ground breaking and life changing approaches and ventures to assist children in need of remedial assistance, special needs education and those on the Autistic Spectrum.
She founded EduExcellence, a bespoke schooling system in 2006 in Lynnwood, Pretoria and has since expanded to the Western Cape. This unique schooling system is based on TheraEd™, which she designed after completing her doctorate in neurodevelopment. Therapeutic Education is a methodology whereby a therapeutic environment is created and all team members contribute by being trained at the TheraEd Academy as cotherapists. A fundamental shift is proposed, away from diagnosis to finding functional solutions by identifying the core underlying causes of symptom identified. An individualised neurodevelopmental program is designed and presented daily to assist children with life and learning challenges.
True to her status as global influencer in the field of education neuroscience, she launched The Assessment Centre™ and The Development Centre™, where children on the spectrum are assessed and their profiles mapped on a unique iMAP™
She has designed the Be[in]Formed Series™ where Parents, Teachers and Professionals complete an extensive and interactive online questionnaire, spanning 20 different subsets in order to create robust report. This report serves a multiprofessional population and can, if utilised correctly, assist all professionals working with a single patient, in order to create the optimal therapeutic intervention called the iDevelop Program™.
With the breakout of the global pandemic in March 2020, a radical shift was needed and both EduExcellence and The Assessment Centres moved online. Her latest visionary launch was the NeuroDynamics Academy where she trains professionals around the world to implement the products she has designed within their own private practices. This will allow professionals to pivot their practices and create a sustainable service to all children in need, irrespective of where they are in the world.
