Dubai Center for Special Needs

www.dcsneeds.ae

The Dubai Center for Special Needs is an established, non-profitable institution that provides the highest standards of service in specialized education and therapy for children with various disabilities.  It is a caring environment, largely dependent on the generosity of the local communities and corporations.  Its aim is to provide each and every one of its students the key to a positive life, thereby "Lighting the path to a brighter future".
  • The Centre works to give students, aged between 3 and 27 years, the best quality of life of which they are able physically, emotionally, socially and academically.
  • For those children that are capable, prevocational training is provided, taking them to various organizations within Dubai for work experience with a view to helping them gain employment within the community and to take their rightful place in this world.
  • It is the training that the older children receive that makes the DCSN shine amongst it's peers. 
  • In the society from which many of the children come, the girls are still expected to help run the parental home, or even a marital home.  To assist them in such a task, they are taught the skills required – how to use household equipment, the basics of household management, etc., to allow them to participate as much as possible in the home.
