Adversity Quotient (AQ) Training Package
Autistic children often have difficulties of communicating with others. In view of this, AQ training package has been designed and published for trainers to coach autistic children’s socio-emotional and problem-solving skills. Through a series of innovative and creative activities, such as story-telling, treasure-hunting and problem-solving, the children who used to get irritated when facing frustration will then know how to read other’s emotions, express their own feelings, communicate and co-operate with others as well as to solve problems/difficulties encountered in daily life.

Introductory Guide to Relationship Development Intervention Program (RDI®)
According to the RDI® model, autistic children are not able to adjust their own behavior to cope with the changing environment and share feelings and opinions with other people in the absence of Dynamic Intelligence. The RDI® Program is a parent-led training approach to enhance the Dynamic Intelligence of autistic children step by step, thereby improving the quality of life of the children and their families. This introductory guide serves to help parents better understand the approach.

The majority of children with special needs suffer from physical developmental problems, in particular, the soft tissue tightness, which adversely affects the daily lives and learning performance of the children, such as their sitting postures in class, writing, getting dressed, cycling and swimming. Passive stretching is one of the most commonly used treatment techniques applied by physiotherapists to ease the soft tissue tightness problem, and facilitate their gross motor development, thereby contributing to a higher quality of life of the children affected. The publication marshals the clinical experience of the Physiotherapist Team of Heep Hong and is dedicated to parents of children with special needs for their training at home. The booklet expounds on the types and causes of soft tissue tightness, and demonstrates with pictures the skills of stretching children’s neck, body, upper extremities and lower extremities. Parents are advised to follow the instructions and guidelines mentioned in the booklet in doing stretching for their children. Practice always makes perfect! The booklet was sponsored by the Partnership Fund for The Disadvantaged.
