About

Description
The Parents’ Association of Pre-school Handicapped Children was founded in 1986 by a group of passionate parents to present their views to the Government on the severe shortage of service for preschool children with disabilities. In February 1987, the concerned group was registered as a non-profit making organization, and its registration was changed to limited company in 2001. The Association is now a member of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. In 1993, the Association was awarded the “Outstanding Rehabilitation Self-help Organization 1993” . Since its establishment, the Association continues to concern ad advocate for the welfare of persons with disabilities and their families. Our service is presently extended to handicapped persons at all age groups and various types of disabilities.
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.
