Dubai Center for Special Needs

The Center was purpose-built with special needs of our students in mind. The center has three therapy departments running alongside a comprehensive curriculum within each of its four departments: Nursery, Academic, Pre-vocational and Sensory.
Currently, at DCSN we provide education and therapy to 135 students from 23 different nationalities.
Individual programs, planned by a multi-disciplanary team, seek to fulfil the objectives set for each student and are reviewed regularly.
The curriculum is based on the principle that each student is an individual and should be given every possible opportunity to an eduacation appropriate to their needs for personal, social, physical and emotional development.
It is our intention that each student shall acquire knowledge, concept, skills, attitudes and behaviour patternsthat will increase his/her independence.
To achieve our aims, the curricullum features a combination of classroom work, therapy sessions, liason with families, home visits and comunity activities.
