Introduction
To ensure that children with special needs receive the necessary training during their critical developmental period, our unit has received subvention from Social Welfare Department since 2018 to launch the subsidized On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Service to provide early training to children on the waiting list for pre-school rehabilitation services.
The Government has regularised the Tier 1 Support Services and integrated them with On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services since September 2023 to offer comprehensive and timely assistance to pre‑school children with different levels of special needs through inter-disciplinary service teams under a school-based and integrated approach.
