This program helps children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We offer professional occupational therapy group training and support to help children improve their concentration, emotion control and self-management skills, building up their self-confidence and self-care ability so that they can realize their potential in school, family and social life.

Content
The program will be coordinated in 2 stages, each with (i) parent workshops and (ii) parent-child play training groups, which are coordinated to teach parents to practise with their children at home, and to empower parents to help and support their children.
1. Parent Worshops
The workshops teach parents to understand and practise methods and techniques to promote their children's concentration, emotional control and self-management ability on the one hand. On the other hand, the workshops also aim to provide ways for parents to relieve their stress and build a platform for parents to help and encourage each other.
2. Parent-Child Play-Training Groups
In the parent-child play-training groups, children learn to improve their concentration, emotional control and self-management ability through activities and games. Parents will observe and learn how to practise with their children at home. These are held once a week on weekday afternoons after 4 p.m.
K2-P3 children and their parents can enrol by submitting the online application form or call us for more information. Upon receipt of the online application, our occupational therapist will arrange for an initial assessment to understand the child's performance and arrange for placement. This program is free of charge and is available on a first-come first-serve basis. Priority will be given to low-income families.
