The Child Development Centre

The CDC has always been a strong support to families with children who have additional needs in Hong Kong, including children with autism 💙 Thank you Optism for inviting us to contribute to your valuable online resource library! 📚✨
Optism recently interviewed our Head of Services, Dr Evita Kam 🩺, on Primary 1 school applications, which is a daunting process for many parents.😓

Evita shared useful tips 💡, including:
• What to consider when choosing a school 🏫
• How much to disclose about your child’s needs 🗣️
• How to partner with schools for the best outcomes 🤝

We have supported countless families through the school application journey ❤️, and we believe the professional knowledge and experience we shared will definitely give valuable insights for parents!

Video coming very soon 🎥 – stay tuned! 👀

CDC 一直都好用心咁陪伴香港有特殊需要嘅小朋友同家庭，當中包括自閉症小朋友 💙 多謝 Optism 邀請，共同打造一個超實用嘅網上資源庫，為家長提供更多支援！📚✨

我哋服務部主管 Dr Evita Kam 🩺 就令家長頭痛嘅小一入學申請呢個題目，接受 Optism 訪問 😓，分享點樣：
• 揀學校 🏫
• 透露小朋友嘅情況幾多 🗣️
• 家校合作 🤝，幫小朋友有個最啱嘅學習環境 💡

我哋陪過無數家庭一齊處理申請學校嘅過程 ❤️，相信今次甘博士所分享嘅專業知識同經驗，一定會俾到好多家長有用嘅啟發！
