Seminar on Supporting Individuals with Learning Diversity - A WIN-WIN Formula

Seminar on Supporting Individuals with Learning Diversity - A WIN-WIN Formula

Abstract:

Students at HKU are keen to serve the community involving themselves in various voluntary services. Supporting individuals with learning diversity is a popular choice. Instead of a one sided “serving” service, students gain valuable experience beyond imagination. In this seminar, Dr YB Wong, Honorary Research Associate of Centre for Advancement in Inclusive Education (CAISE) and Ms Kit Chan, Training Director of CAISE, will share HKU students’ experience in participating three different projects, showing how supporting individuals with learning diversity can be a fun and valuable experience.
