A SUCCESSFUL VOCATION BEGINS WITH GETTING COMPASSIONATE, SKILLED TRAINING

Have you been looking for a special needs vocational program that offers the skills you really want? When it comes to special needs or learning disabilities, not everyone has had the same chance to get the job training required for a particular field of work. At Dharma Dreams Vocational Center we want to change this. We believe everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential, no matter what his or her learning challenges may be. This is a special needs vocational program created specifically for special needs students.


Dharma Dreams Vocational Center is a non-profit (501c3) independent vocational training program located in South Shore, MA. We are visionaries who believe in the potential of all our students. Our students have a variety of complex language and learning challenges, and as a result they learn differently. Using a hands-on, visual approach to learning, we know we can train our students to be proficient in job skills which will help them find the career they have been wanting to do. We allow our dreamers to find their life purpose.


So how did we get our name, "Dharma Dreams"?  Dharma is a sanskrit word meaning finding and achieving your life purpose. Dreams are about having goals and aspirations and reaching for the stars. Dharma Dreams Vocational Center is about having a place to go to learn the technical job skills you need to achieve your dreams and life purpose.  This program started with a dream of having a special needs vocational school that offered the hands on training that many students desire; and here we are!

Our student body

Dharma Dreams Vocational Center offers adapted technical training to special needs students in the age range of 18-21 who have graduated from high school with a diploma and those aged 22-26 (with or without a diploma), who have a true desire to learn one of the trades or vocations offered, and who have the ability to learn hands-on material. Sometimes the academic component of a traditional trade school can be too challenging for certain learning disabilities.  So, here we focus on visual and hands-on training.

Who should apply?

Dharma Dreams Vocational Center wants this to be a good fit for you, so we take the time to get to know you, your interests, your special needs and your strengths. Learning these skills should be something you want to do. In addition, we want our program to be a place where you can find common bonds with the other students and build long lasting relationships. If you have been looking for a special needs vocational school, but you have not found the right one, then take a closer look at our program.  I think we may just meet your needs!!
