About
- Description
- We are a group of visually impaired people and volunteers, aspiring to serve the visually impaired living in Hong Kong Island. Therefore, we organized a service organization called "Hong Kong Visually Impaired Association" to provide services to our members according to their personal needs. The Association was formally established on March 1, 1998 and registered as a non-profit self-help organization with the Societies Office of the Licensing Branch of the Hong Kong Police Force. In 2002, it enjoyed the exemption certificate under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (tax exemption certificate) and was exempted from tax. The Association is managed by an Executive Committee and its main funding comes from the non-recurrent grant from the Social Welfare Department, various funds, donations from all walks of life and fundraising activities. Committee members' titles include: President, Vice President, Financial Secretary, Executive Secretary, Recreation member.., etc., a total of five to seven people.
- For over 25 years FOCUS has been a trusted resource for Hong Kong parents, educators and medical professionals seeking to learn how to better support the academic and social lives of children with mainstream learning differences. FOCUS aims to improve educational and life outcomes of children with AD/HD and SpLD by expanding understanding and raising awareness of what it means to have a mind that learns differently Our mission is is to improve the education of mainstream students who are challenged by Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) by providing accurate evidence-based information, practical strategies and support to parents and professionals in education and healthcare and by improving understanding of how learning differences impact youth both emotionally and academically.
