"Our society has little opportunities for people with special needs at public spaces. Our vision is to create an arts school system that allows us to teach children with all abilities. At DPSG, more than an incubation centre for persons with special needs, we have developed a community that these children can belong and be part. As an education and recreation centre, we provide a safe learning space that allows social inclusivity for students with and without special needs through programmes that are catered to all abilities - individual training and group classes. At DPSG, parents do not face the struggle to have their children accepted in regular classes. We have competent teachers and resources for most disabilities and we are able to facilitate the inclusion of students with special needs with greater sensitivity and spontaneity in making judgements."
