The Hong Kong Association For Specific Learning Disabilities is a parent-led self-help organisation dedicated to supporting families with children who have specific learning disabilities. It operates on a spirit of mutual assistance, providing resources such as a parent hotline and organising a wide range of activities. Through sports classes, art workshops, academic support, and family events, the association aims to foster parent-child relationships and build an inclusive community. The charity relies on volunteers and donations to carry out its work for its members.
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.
