Providing block activities for children and youths with Autism Spectrum Disorder to alleviate their emotional and behavioural problems and to enhance their communication skills

The venture aims to build the self-confidence, alleviate the emotional and behavioural problems as well as improve the communication skills of children and youths with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through block activities. Four sessions of block activity workshops will be offered to 96 children and youths with ASD aged 6 to 16 to strengthen their logical thinking and body muscle control. Four youths with ASD aged 17 or above will be trained to become activity assistants in block activity workshops and guidance in personal career planning will be provided to them.

It is expected that 100 children and youths with ASD, and 96 family members/carers of children and youths with ASD will benefit.
