Does AMTC represent special needs performers?

Special needs performers have important roles to fulfill on this earth. Some are called to entertainment. AMTC welcomes them.

AMTC grads include performers with paralysis, Downs Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and various movement disorders, as well performers with hearing and sight impairment. Some come to AMTC for self-improvement and education. Others hope to advance their performance potential.

Coaches accommodate each individual to their best ability. AMTC cannot provide sign interpreters, but deaf performers may bring their own interpreters at no charge to classes and to the SHINE event itself. Assistants for any special needs performer may assist them at no fee. All training and hotel facilities are handicap accessible.

The entertainment industry is a challenging industry for everyone hoping to enter it—including those with special needs. Therefore, AMTC cannot guarantee placement to any grad. But, we do guarantee an excellent education and opportunity in a loving environment—one that emphasizes spiritual preparedness as much as talent preparedness.
