SEN, ASD, ADHD, PD… A series of important acronyms were clearly decrypted at the Teaching Enhancement Seminar Series #2 on 26 January 2023, co-organised by the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Section, the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL), and the Student Affairs Office (Inclusion and Diversity).
In view of the emerging challenges confronted by our students with diverse needs and staff, over 20 of our HSUHK teachers and administrators had a fruitful morning learning all about how our Special Education Needs (SEN) students could enjoy the best educational journey, thanks to the visit of Ms Josanna LAI, a registered clinical psychologist, Mr Ivan Lam, the Institute Manager of the Hong Kong Physically Handicapped and Able-Bodied (PHAB) Association, and Mr Andy Ko, the Institute Trainer of the same PHAB Association.
With the aim of helping transforming our University into a model of promoting “inclusiveness of disabilities” in the higher education sector in Hong Kong, this seminar walked the participants through the characteristics of Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The seminar started by Mr Lam introducing this meaningful organisation, the Hong Kong PHAB Association, which was established in 1972 to promote a pluralistic society. Then Ms Lai, together with her over 20 years of clinical experience, had the whole room educated and enlightened, with her focus on cases she handled relating to students of higher education institutes (HEI). Billed as the Regenerative Warrior himself, Mr Ko, sharing based on his life in a wheelchair, then invited the participants to experience the challenges of physical disabilities and discuss the suggestions and solutions so as to build a barrier-free environment on our campus, and in our community as a whole.
SEN, ASD, ADHD, PD…這數個與自閉症譜系障礙有關的重要縮寫，於2023年1月26日，由教與學發展中心 (CTL) 教與學發展部和學生事務處 (多元與共融) 合辦的教學提昇研討會系列 #2中，為大家一一拆解。
鑑於迎來的新挑戰和照顧不同學習需要的學生，超過20位香港恒生大學的教師和行政人員出席了當日的工作坊，一同了解有特殊教育需要 (SEN) 的學生如何享受最好的教育之旅。本中心榮幸邀請到註冊臨床心理學家黎玉蓮女士、香港傷健協會無障礙體驗學習組經理林學文先生,以及香港傷健協會傷健學院培訓導師高小亮先生到訪。
是次研討會旨在協助本校成為本港推動「傷健共融」的模範專上學院，並帶領參加者認識自閉症譜系障礙 (SEN)﹑專注力不足(ASD) ﹑過度活躍症（ADHD）和肢體残疾(PD)患者的行為表現。 研討會先由林先生介紹香港傷健協會。該協會成立於1972年，旨在促進多元化社會。 隨後，黎女士根據她二十多年的臨床經驗，重點分享了她如何處理在高等院校（HEI）接觸到的學生個案，令在場的參加者都得到了深刻啟發。 作為再生勇士的小亮就以輪椅上的生活為題，邀請參加者體驗肢體殘疾帶來的挑戰，並探討建構校園無障礙環境的建議和解決方案，甚至推廣到整個社區。
