The Seminar on District-based Support Model and Parent Education CD-ROM to Support Children with Dyslexia held on 17 November 2009 was a roaring success. Over 450 parents and fellow professionals from 250 units, including educational psychologists, students’ counselors, social workers, teachers, college students of social work, and providers of services in support of dyslexic students, took part in the event. As hundreds of applicants were denied the chance to join the seminar this time, it is decided that another seminar will be held again early next year. Details will be announced later. Interested parties please stay tune.
Apart from sharing the project findings, a Parent Education CD-ROM was released at the same time.
In 2006, Heep Hong Society was invited to participate in the "READ & WRITE: A Jockey Club Learning Support Network" by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. Under the project, Heep Hong designed a district-based support model to help dyslexic children and their families through collaboration among organisations in Sham Shui Po, and developed a series of courses for peer professionals.
