The first tier is school-wide support mainly implemented by teachers in the class; the second tier is group support which is often carried out at the extracurricular time. The schools organize a variety of extracurricular groups, including social training and emotion management, to help students with learning difficulties. The third tier is individual support, which is usually for students with severe SEN. Educational psychologists and school teachers will conduct case meetings based on the problems and needs of the individual students, and design corresponding individualized support programs focusing on their core needs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Schools will receive special education grants annually, and will utilize the grants according to the needs of the SEN students.

Each year our school prepares an admission test for Primary 1 students. The test requires students to partake in various social activities and these activities provide us preliminary understanding of their social, attention and emotion management abilities. From our experience, this type of test is far more effective than traditional writing test in identifying the students with SEN, especially for the students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), since their deficits are often in those areas. If identification is made and with immediate support and tailored training, we can reduce the students\u2019 negative experiences brought about by their learning disabilities.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">For students with SEN, we will arrange group training during the summer holiday and after regular classes. The training focuses on improving communication and social skills, such as \u201chow to express your emotion and need appropriately\u201d, with social skill training like \u201cHow to calm down&#8221;. After two years of group training, many students who first could not regulate their emotion nor express themselves well shown obvious improvement in related areas.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">In addition, we also adjust our school policy to support the students with SEN. For instance, school timetable is arranged in a structure that classes which require longer attention span will be arranged in the morning section; after lunch hour students tend to be less attentive, thus classes that are less demanding will be arranged in the afternoon section to cater the students with low attention span.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Moreover, some students have stronger reactions to teachers\u2019 feedback and tones. To increase students\u2019 tolerances in receiving feedbacks, school\u2019s guidance officer is assigned to provide suggestion to teachers in evaluating their tones and intonation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-529b699 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"529b699\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpacks-hanging-on-hooks_925x.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18970\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpacks-hanging-on-hooks_925x.jpg 800w, https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpacks-hanging-on-hooks_925x-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpacks-hanging-on-hooks_925x-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6361a04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6361a04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

In order to effectively help the students with SEN, we need to first understand their problems and the cause of their problems. For example, we had a student with ASD in our school and during his first 3 years, we could not pinpoint the reasons behind his tantrums. One day, we were hosting a big lecture at our school and he told me that he didn\u2019t want to attend. I asked him why and he said the auditorium was too noisy. Only then I have realized that he was very sensitive to the sound volume, and could not tolerate sound made by speakers; and this contributed to his frequent tantrums in the auditorium. Since then, we allowed him to either attend the gathering in the auditorium or stay in the library, and he has also shown less behavioral problems ever since.<\/p><p>Every child with SEN is unique; and to provide effective support we need to understand their unique needs, strengths and weaknesses. However, the inadequate experience and knowledge in our teachers and helping staff often cannot carry out such support. It is unfortunate that in Hong Kong, unlike countries like Europe and the United States, there is no dedicated SEN teacher or professional counseling team for each student with SEN for individualized in-class or out-of-class support. Teachers in Hong Kong mainstream schools do not have enough skills in designing curriculum and delivering classes for students with SEN, and they are not as fully equipped as teachers specialized in special education. Thus, we should learn from schools in Europe and America, recruiting special education teachers with professional knowledge and teaching skills to provide services at school and timely support to the regular teachers in mainstream schools.<\/p><p>Besides, the mainstream schools are buried in heavy workload with a large number of curriculums and learning contents, but actual class time is insufficient. We can imagine, teachers not only need to deliver classes and meet the tight schedule of lessons, but also have to respond to the needs of each student, including the ones with SEN, from all aspects. Let&#8217;s put the experience matter aside first, it is hard for a teacher to deal with both adequately. That is why European and American schools have special education teachers stationed in classes to provide support and arrange professional supporting team, including assistants, speech therapists, occupational therapists and social workers based in school to provide services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70849a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"70849a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/play-stone-network-networked-interactive-163064.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18973\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/play-stone-network-networked-interactive-163064.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/play-stone-network-networked-interactive-163064-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/play-stone-network-networked-interactive-163064-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fc0b2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6fc0b2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.

With increased grants amounts, the school should have greater flexibilities and resources to support the students with SEN, but more crucial is how to make use of these funds appropriately to benefit all the students with SEN. Based on our observation, with the same fund amounts, schools that recruit special education professions to plan, carry out and supervise programs are more efficient than the ones who did not.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Secondly, teachers in mainstreams are tied with heavy classes and general affairs.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p>Teaching, lessons preparation and general affairs have occupied the majority of their work and rest time. Under such circumstances, if we ask them to spare time to take care of the students with SEN, I think their spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak to do so. In recent years, the Education Bureau has proposed new policies including \u201cOne School Social Worker for Each School\u201d and \u201cSpecial Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO)\u201d, indicating that it is urgent to provide a sound and comprehensive growing environment and learning supporting teams for students.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>The third is to establish a friendly and supportive school environment.<\/b><\/p><p>Children with SEN, especially ASD children, often cannot express their emotions and needs, but that does not mean they don\u2019t need care and love. Just like ordinary children, they yearn for an environment with love and care to feel and learn. I have once met a child, who always threw tantrums in the classroom during the lunchtime. Later, I have realized that it was the excessive noises made during the lunchtime resulted in his emotional volatility. To assist the teacher and the child, I invited him to have lunch with me in the principal&#8217;s office. For four years, we had lunch together, and I got to know more about the thoughts and behaviors of ASD children from his unique perspectives towards the world. It was then I have noticed that they also have strong learning abilities, and they are able to gradually learn various social skills from different social and emotional situations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf8b9ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bf8b9ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-207983.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18976\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-207983.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-207983-300x211.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/autismpartnershipph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-photo-207983-768x540.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a80ed2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a80ed2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Lastly, the parent education.<\/b><\/p><p>School is just a part of education.
