Mater Dei Special School is a private school organisation that provides early intervention therapy services, education and residential programs to babies, children and young people with an intellectual disability or developmental delay. [4]
History
Mater Dei Special School was established in 1910 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, originally as an orphanage for orphans who lived in the inner city areas of Sydney. In 1957 the Bishop of Wollongong requested to establish a school for girls with intellectual disabilities and the Sisters accepted the request. [5]
