Aurora was founded in 1978 by two teachers, Joan Goosen and Peggy Cathro. These teachers identified a need within the school and surrounding community that Children with Profound Intellectual and Physical Disabilities needed a more specialized services and support system. The mission of Aurora Special Care Centre aims to stimulate and care for Children and Adults with Profound Mental and Physical Disabilities, so they may reach their full potential. Aurora Special Care Centre is a registered NPO who renders essential services to vulnerable children and adults with multiple Profound Mental and Physical Disabilities, irrespective of race, language or creed and is BEE Compliant. The name AURORA means "new beginning" and this is what our centre offers our vulnerable persons with disabilities.
