Panorama School therapist bags her doctor’s degree

“I’ve been working within the education industry for the past 11 years and my goal is to make a difference in the lives of learners," said Buckle.

Chief educational therapist at Kempton Panorama School Dr Fransli Buckle obtained her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree at the University of the Witwatersrand on July 12.

Her thesis was titled “The effectiveness of computer-based intervention for the remediation of visual perceptual skills in 7- to 9-year-old learners diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder”.

Buckle is an occupational therapist and actively involved in the Kempton Park community.

“I’ve been working within the education industry for the past 11 years and my goal is to make a difference in the lives of learners. I also thoroughly enjoy presenting papers at conferences and workshops,” said Buckle.

She believes every child is gifted and it is the responsibility of parents, educators and therapists to uncover each child’s special talent. Her advice to people who would like to pursue academic studies is to work hard, never give up and surround yourself with people who will motivate you to reach your goal.
