Hong Kong family centre offers helping hand to ethnic minority children with special needs

Hong Kong-Nepali resident Laxmi Kunwar hopes her 10-year-old daughter can one day fulfil her dream of becoming a rapper, despite facing an uphill journey after it emerged the youngster could have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

But help is at hand, with Zubin’s Family Centre providing therapy for her daughter and working to improve her attention skills, ability to follow instructions and develop her self-help techniques.

Kunwar said she was grateful for the support from the centre, which opened in January and offers counselling, therapy and workshops for children from ethnic minority groups with special educational needs (SEN) who come from low-income households and their families.

“Their work is definitely important. There are a lot of children with special education needs in the ethnic minority community,” she said.
