Hi, my name is Catherine, a mother of four kids and I have ADD.

In 2013 we immigrated from South Africa to Canada, what an amazing experience. We enjoy every moment of living in Canada, the winter months are filled with snow and Christmas lights everywhere but it’s very cold.

Summertime the mountains are amazing, and the forestry makes for the most beautiful hiking areas. Over the years I’ve worked as a Support Worker for kids with behavioral problems, learning disabilities and I have fostered kids with severe traumas.

I loved every moment of it and learned so much that I felt the urge to help but I didn’t know how. A couple of years ago my sister Desire Van Der Merve told me all about Biolink and it got me thinking how amazing it will be if I opened a centre in Canada. It has been a long journey, but I am officially a Biolink agent.

I’m so excited about this new chapter of my life. My desire to help as many Kids/Adults as I can and even opening more center’s. ADD does not define me, it’s just a part of me.

Albert Einstein said, Education is not just the learning of fact, but also, training of the mind to think.

At Biolink Attention Training, we offer support, hope, answers, and solutions for children and adults with ADHD and other learning disorders or academic challenges.  We also provide resources and training toward the continuous professional development of teachers, as required by die South African Council of Educators.

Study after study confirms children today are struggling more than ever before with academic, social, and behavioural issues that impact their success in school.

We want to take hands with parents and teachers to ensure our children get the best support and assistance when having academic or learning challenges. We strongly believe that the role parents play in the school system should be clearly defined, and teachers should be the inspirational leaders of a diverse world.

The only way we can do that, is by empowering parents and teachers. We want to generate new knowledge through a broad array of workshops, research materials, and supportive information, and use the content for classroom strategies.
