I-WELL’s rst anniversary ceremony
整全成長發展中心成立一周年誌慶
Since its establishment in 2016 as a one-stop SEN centre on campus, the Integrated Centre for Wellbeing (I-WELL) has drawn on the diverse expertise of an interdisciplinary professional team specialising in applying research ndings in psychology, counselling, audiology and speech language pathology to provide assessment and intervention for students with special learning needs. Close to 100 SEN students in primary and secondary schools have bene ted from I-WELL’s comprehensive services, including counselling, play therapy and professional clinical services.
As a new initiative to support SEN students and their families at the community level, the Centre for Special Educational Needs and Inclusive Education (CSENIE) set up a Supporting Unit for Special Educational Needs (SuSEN) at the University’s Tseung Kwan O Study Centre in September 2016. Thanks to funding from The Swire Group Charitable Trust, the new unit functions as a service centre, providing school-based and centre-based intervention services to SEN students and support to parents, in addition
to professional training for future educators aspiring to serve in the area of special education.
