Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced earlier that he will postpone the announcement of a new policy address, hoping to postpone the announcement until the end of November when he seeks measures to benefit Hong Kong from the central government.

Lam Cheng visited a special school and a kindergarten-cum-kindergarten in Sham Shui Po this morning to learn about the services received by the government and social welfare agencies for students and young children with special needs.

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that early support for children with special learning needs will not only help them grow up healthily, relieve their parents' anxiety and anxiety, but also reduce the need for special education and adult rehabilitation services in the future. It is a meaningful expenditure.

Lam Cheng first visited the Hong Kong Mental Health Association Zhenhe School today to listen to the principal, Huang Manyi, introducing the school's education, rehabilitation treatment and residential services for students with severe intellectual disabilities.

She visited the school's classroom and dormitory facilities to learn about how the school can improve students' self-care and independent living ability through life skills training.

During the consultation period of this year’s Policy Address, some people believed that the surplus places in the dormitory department of special schools could be used to provide temporary residential places for the original school graduates during long holidays.

Lam Cheng said that during his visit today, he deliberately understood the situation of the dormitory and explored the feasibility of the proposal.

Later, Lam Cheng visited the Po Leung Kuk Leung On Ki Kindergarten and Kindergarten. He was briefed by the principal, Wu Kaiyi, about the school’s provision of "preschool rehabilitation services" for children with special learning needs, and talked with the parents of the students. Both parties believed that the service was achieved. The effect of "early recognition and early intervention" is ideal.

In 2018, the government regularized the "On-School Pre-school Rehabilitation Service Pilot Project". The Social Welfare Department commissioned a non-governmental organization to form a multi-professional team to provide more than 80% of kindergartens or kindergarten-cum-child care centers in Hong Kong with special learning needs. Provide outreach to school rehabilitation services. Team members include occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech therapists, clinical/educational psychologists, social workers, and special child care workers.

The government increased this service quota to more than 8,000 places last month, and another 1,000 places will be added each year in the next two academic years. By the 2022/23 academic year, the total number will reach 10,000. This will be realized by Lam Cheng’s proposal in the 2018 Policy Address. The goal of "zero waiting".
