Introduction

To help children of different abilities reach full potential in a happy and healthy environment, thereby contributing to a more inclusive society

This organization was formed in 1963 when a group of Hong Kong women, concerned by the lack of post-operative care for children recovering from polio, began a club to take the children on outings. The organisation has grown steadily ever since. Today, through 30 service centres in Hong Kong, it provides a wide range of professional rehabilitation services to more than 5,000 Hong Kong families with children under 7 years of age who are affected by physical disabilities, learning difficulties, behavioural or developmental problems.

From the mid 1990s, Heep Hong began accepting mainland doctors and teachers for training placements in its Hong Kong centres. Heep Hong staff also began to give visiting lectures on the mainland.

In early 1999,the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau Director visited the Heep Hong centres in Hong Kong and invited the organisation to work with the Shanghai Children’s Welfare Home (orphanage). Heep Hong placed an occupational therapist in the orphanage for nine months to train the staff in modern rehabilitation methods, and has since sent teams of teachers, clinical psychologists, and speech therapists to mainland China to give short-term trainings. Some mainland staff have also been attached to Heep Hong centres for training in Hong Kong.

Since 2002, Heep Hong has been conducting training courses and attachment programmes for professionals and parents who care for autistic children in mainland China, using training materials adapted from a programme that was originally developed by the University of North Carolina, USA.

Heep Hong is funded by subventions from the Hong Kong SAR Government, grants from the Hong Kong Community Chest, the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Hong Kong Lotteries Fund, and individual and corporate donations.
