Introduction:

The society focuses mainly on students’ academic performance. Hence SEN students are often stereotyped as losers and suffer on their growth path. Therefore, The Salvation Army has tried to cultivate an environment filled with acceptance, assurance and care in community, in order to develop the children’s potential, build up their sense of accomplishment and encourage their positive behaviours. 
 
Art is one of the most effective ways to raise the self-esteem of SEN students. The Salvation Army has used Djembe to stimulate the senses of students and to improve their attention spans. Their cooperation and social skills with other children were also strengthened.
