The Department of Education Studies jointly organized a workshop with Physically Handicapped and Able-Bodied Association (PHAB) on mental health and career planning of youth with Dyslexia held on 9 December 2017. The Workshop provided an invaluable opportunity for the public to have a deeper and fully understanding about the challenges and resilience of this group with special needs. Different stakeholders including parents, teachers and social workers found the workshop beneficial. The Workshop was opened by Prof. Vicky Tam, Acting Head of EDUC, Dr. Frederick Ho, Chairman of PHAB and Dr. Maggie Koong, representative of Victoria Fund. The programme comprised a talk given by Dr. Tang Kit Yi of EDUC on challenges and resilience of adolescents with dyslexia; a presentation on the strategy of "Telling and Re-telling " stemming from Narrative Therapy with demonstration by a teenager with dyslexia; a career planning activity supported by navigation cards that involved HKBU students and students with special educational needs.
