Aoi Pui School, the only registered school for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) organized the annual "Aoi Pui Fun Fair" on December 11, 2015, aimed to raise funds to improve the environment and facilities of the school through different game stalls and a charity sale. It also served as a great opportunity for the Aoi Pui School to celebrate Christmas with parents, students and teachers, as the event attracted over 100 participants.
The Fun Fair features a variety of activities, including game booths, handicraft and charity sales and a Santa Claus photo booth. Showcasing and selling hand-printed canvas bags made by Aoi Pui students allow parents to recognize their children's efforts, creativity and communication skills. And with different activities and games at the fun fair, it provides a great opportunity for students to develop their patience and concentration outside the classroom as well as to show their heartfelt thanks to the teachers.
Ms. Kathleen Man, Principal of Aoi Pui School said, "thanks to the support from teachers and students, the annual Aoi Pui Fun Fair was a success and we are grateful to see our students' talent and improvement. It proves that the application of ABA in our teaching methodology is clearly working."
By using the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) technique the Principal and teachers from the Aoi Pui School will join hands to teach students with autism to enhance their social skills, and will seek the active participation of parents to help ASD kids re-integrate into society.
Aoi Pui School, the only school catered for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), is a private primary school registered under the Education Bureau of Hong Kong. It was founded by the Autism Partnership Foundation in 2007 to help support families and children with ASD with suitable autism-specific schooling. To provide an environment for quality and flexible learning and teaching setting, the school runs in a small class of 8 or less with a high teacher-student ratio of 1:2 and offers both English and Cantonese-medium classes. More than 100 students who enrolled Aoi Pui School in the past years have been able to transfer to mainstream schools, and need not require much, or any assistance in regular learning settings. Some continue to stay at Aoi Pui School for a learning environment that best suit their learning needs. For more information about Aoi Pui School, please visit http://apschool.edu.hk.
