The research aimed to broaden the horizons of participants and apply neuroscience and education technology in special education. Through classroom learning, visiting schools in Hong Kong and discussions, participants would have a better understanding of how innovation and technology, neuroscience and electronic learning could apply in special education curriculum and services in Hong Kong. This allowed participants to acquire experiences, thus enhance the development of special education in mainland China. The research comprised three stages.
