Join us for the second in a new series of symposiums exploring and celebrating the early-years journey of individuals with Down Syndrome and their families in Hong Kong SAR.

加入我們,參加這第二場全新系列研討會,探索並肯定香港唐氏綜合症人士及其家庭在早期階段的成長歷程。

The GAP: Hong Kong has a range of resources for children and teens with Down syndrome, but these are not always easy to find or navigate, particularly for school-age inclusion.

差距: 香港雖然有一些針對唐氏綜合症兒童及青少年的資源,但這些資源並不總是容易找到並善用,尤其是在學齡階段的融合教育方面。


The FIX: This symposium series seeks to build for a collaborative ecosystem. The inaugural 2025 symposium addressed the early years; this second event centres on ages 6-12; the third will encompass adolescence and adulthood.

解決: 這個研討會系列旨在建立一個協作式支援網絡。首屆 2025 年研討會聚焦早期階段;第二場將以 6 至 12 歲為中心;第三場將涵蓋青春期至成年階段。


The GOAL: Our aim is to consolidate resources, information and community access in a shared, online space, so individuals with Down syndrome and their families have a sense of purpose and belonging in their journey.

目標:我們的目標是在共享的互聯網中整合資源、信息和社區訪問權限,以便唐氏綜合症患者及其家庭在他們的旅程中感受到目的和歸屬感。
