THE Dagupan City government is building a two-storey Special Education (SPED) Center for children who are blind, or with hearing impairment, or affected by autism at the West Central Elementary School 1 (WCES 1).

Mayor Belen T. Fernandez said the project is part of her commitment to children of Dagupan City whose education, health and well-being are a priority of her administration since she became mayor of the city.

The city was recently adjudged a finalist in the 2017 National Search for Most Child-friendly City, an award it consistently earned for the past three years.

She said the SPED Center is intended to provide more care and attention to special children to enhance their growth and development.

Without the center, school officials are constrained to mix the children with special needs with normal children which she believes is a wrong strategy to enhance child education and development.

The mayor said that she also intends to build a covered arena at WCES1 for the children’s use. (Leonardo Micua)
