SEN RUNDERFUL

Children and Youth, Community Need

Children with special educational needs (SEN) are often viewed as a “special” group in schools and society, and are sometimes targets of peer bullying. SEN children’s deficiency in communication skills is leading to the public’s lack of understanding about SEN. 

In this project, a coach with international qualifications is using the unique and innovative “Athletics Training Methods” as an intervention to improve SEN children’s communication skills and enhance their self-esteem and self-confidence. 

The project team holds the belief that every kid has unique abilities and all one need is the appropriate way to unleash them.

Dementia is an irreversible condition. By 2040, one in three people will be elderly. In 2039, more than 330,000 people in Hong Kong are expected to be diagnosed with dementia. With a team of registered occupational therapists, Brainy Training Kits uses their professional knowledge to design a training kit for people with dementia. The goal is to slow the progression of the disease and alleviate the burden on caregivers and medical staff.
