When I was studying in higher diploma, I was had a chance to have practicum in Hong Chi school. This was a really special memory and I want to share with you all now. The Jockey Club Hong Chi School is the government-subsidized providing education to the children aged 6 to 18 of moderate grade intellectual disability. At the beginning, I was a bit scared that I chose to Practicum in Hong Chi School. It because I was afraid that cannot handle the client’s situation during the Practicum. However, I saw that the students were very nice when I was first visiting the school. Moreover, they would initiative to say hello to me. Their action made me put away my fear. When I talked to them, I saw that they were having a simple mind and feeling very happy in a very simple situation. While I was having the Practicum, there had some unforgettable moment. When I was participant in the Christmas party, it had changed my mind that communicate with them wasn’t a difficult things. I was responsible for one client and practiced with them how to lead a game. The teacher suggest me could wrote down the instructions on the board, it was clearer than I used in the form of verbal to tell him the instruction. At the end, it was very successful that I cooperate with my client. After complete the Practicum in Hong Chi School, I had learned more knowledge and skills which how to communicate and get along with the intellectual disability persons. Nowadays, they may have discriminated against by others. However I have a deep feeling that they are same with us, maybe some skills they are not strength than others. I think that Hong Kong citizens should more concern with the special needs person and give more support to them. Hope this article can let you put more concern in the special need education and the news on the special population.
