| MRS SIU HAS TWO SONS who
are thirteen and sixteen years old. They have been diagnosed as autistic
since they were very young. She came back from Canada with her family
thirteen years ago, with absolutely no knowledge of the education and
services available for children with special educational needs (SENs)
in Hong Kong. The lack of information at that time made her search for
relevant services a total nightmare. At the recent launch ceremony for
the one-stop information service website “Federation In Community Support”
initiated by the HKIEd, Mrs Siu shared her bitter experiences, reflecting
the crucial need for information support for families who have children
with disabilities or SENs. |
