We take underprivileged children and families as our service targets. We focus on children's value education by providing creative storytelling activities, as stories encourage children to imagine and put themselves in others' shoes, which prepare them to face and address future difficulties. Also, reading can broaden children's horizons, nourish their minds, and build up a positive attitude, we, therefore, provide picture books borrowing service and digital reading resources to members. Afterschool development services combined with storytelling activities can also develop children's self-confidence and empathy, improve their communication skills as well as enhance their community engagement. Storytelling is always the best way to reach our second and third goals - to cultivate children's positive mindset and to embrace social inclusion.
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.
