音樂藝術無疆界 展藝 • 共融 • 顯潛能

二OO七年四月 April 2007 匡 扶 智 障 FOR people with mental handicap

「其實我都好鍾意音樂，每當聽到台下有很多人鼓

掌時，我就會好開心。」匡智健樂會弦樂組成員—

俞兆倫。「今次合作感受到他們對音樂的熱誠。智

障人士只要用心學習，其實可以和我們一樣有能力

做到，應該去認識及給予他們機會、接納他們。」

一名拔萃女書院學生。

連月來，匡智會管弦樂、敲擊樂組的智障學生、學員，以

及拔萃女書院的學生全情投入排練活動，在老師及家長的指

導及支持下，終於在去年十二月十八日完成了首個共融音樂

會的演出，贏得台下嘉賓的掌聲，並展現他們的音樂才華。

我們深信智障人士也擁有不同的藝術才能，透過參與音樂、

陶藝、畫藝、舞蹈等藝術活動，展現個人的理想、自信及美

好的一面。匡智會多年來不斷致力培育智障人士發展藝術潛

能，平衡身心靈及全人發展。去年十二月十八日，本會與

拔萃女書院在帝京酒店舉辦首個慈善晚宴暨音樂會，體現傷

健共融的理念，促進社會人士正面接納和欣賞智障人士的藝

術潛能。而晚會籌得的款項，將用作發展智障人士的藝術培

訓工作及所需服務。

冀願公眾人士繼續支持，給予智障人士更多藝術發展的機

會，真正做到融入社群顯潛能。謹此再次鳴謝拔萃女書院的

全力支持、以及拔萃男書院的學生友情演出音樂會。

Students and trainees of Hong Chi String Ensembleand Percussion Ensemble, and the students from theDiocesan Girls’ School had worked hard in practising playing musical instruments for a few months. With the guidance and support of teachers and parents, students brought their performances to fruition in this first-ever Concert held on December 18, 2006. They won a great applause and showcased their talents in music-making.

We believe that people with mental handicap can have different talents and abilities. Through participation in

different artistic activities such as music, pottery, painting and dancing, they can realize their dreams, improve their self-confidence and show their merits. Hong Chi had put much efforts in nurturing people with mental handicap to develop their potentials in art for many years. We aimed at enhancing their physiological, psychological and social well-beings and the whole-person development. On December 18, 2006, Hong Chi and Diocesan Girls’ School joined hands to hold the first-ever Charity Dinner & Concert at Royal Plaza Hotel to promote social inclusion and to foster the public positive acceptance and appreciation towards the musical talents of people with mental handicap. All proceeds collected from the concert will be designated to support artistic training and other services for people with mental handicap.

Please support and join us to explore more opportunities for people with mental handicap to develop their art talents, and to help them realize their potentials and integrateinto the community. Our heartfelt thanks again toDiocesan Girls’ School for their staunch support, and Diocesan Boys’ School for their great performances.

Hong Chi students, trainees and the students from Diocesan Girls’ School practiced for the concert.

Music & ArtWithout Boundaries“I actually loved music very much. When I got huge applauses after the performances, I would be very happy,” said YUE Siu-lun, a Hong Chi Gateway String Ensemble performer. “I can feel their passion for music. If people with mental handicap strive to learn, they can do many things as we can. We should understand, accept them and give them more opportunities,” said a student from Diocesan Girls’ School.

With the sponsorship from the Social Welfare Department, our 3 teams of “Home-based Training & Support Service” had published a new handbook titled “Caregivers’ Manual” in January this year. The handbook was specially designed for caregivers to equip them with the knowledge and techniques in taking care of family members with mental handicap, and to provide them with the latest information on the community support services. The ultimate goal of this publication was to reduce stress and anxiety of the caregivers and to improve the quality of life of people with mental handicap and their families.

To ensure that the manual could meet the genuine needs of the caregivers, the Association had conducted a survey prior to the publication of the manual to understand the caregivers’ expectations on the content of the manual. A working group interviewed 949 caregivers from 26 service units of the Association. Over 95% of the respondents said they felt stressful in taking care of family members with mental handicap. Source of stress was mainly come from anxiety about the future of the family members with mental

handicap, lack of caring skills and knowledge. The survey also showed that caregivers were eager to learn more about the techniques in handling the emotional and behavioral problems, self-care skills training and communication skills for people with mental handicap and self-relief tips for caregivers to reduce stress. With regard to the future development of rehabilitation service, respondents were very concerned about ageing problems of people with mental handicap.

The manual encompassed a wide range of issues that caregivers were concerned with. There were some real life stories in the manual to simulate the incidents that could happen and provide caregivers with the training steps and examples so that they could master the skills easily. Caregivers also shared their touching stories in the manual to inspire and encourage fellow caregivers.

To pick up free copies of Caregivers’ Manual or to enquire about Hong Chi Home-based Training and Support Service, please contact our Services Management Office on 2689 1225.

得

Caregivers’ Manual• 『照顧者錦囊』小冊子

到社會福利署的贊助，本會轄下的三隊“家居訓練及支

援服務”於今年一月出版了『照顧者錦囊』，此乃一本專為

照顧者度身訂造的小冊子，製作目的是希望透過為照顧者提

供照顧智障家庭成員的知識技巧及最新的社會支援服務資訊

等，以減輕他們的壓力，從而提升智障人士及其家庭的生活

質素。

為了使『照顧者錦囊』能切合照顧者的需要，本會在編製這

本小冊子前，進行了意見調查以了解照顧者對錦囊內容的期

望。工作小組共訪問了九百四十九位來自本會轄下共廿六個

服務單位的照顧者，當中超過九成半受訪者表示於照顧智障

家庭成員上感到有壓力，而壓力來源主要來自擔心智障家庭

成員的將來、缺乏照顧的知識及技巧。調查亦顯示照顧者最

希望獲得有關智障人士情緒及行為處理、自理能力訓練、溝

通技巧、以及照顧者自我壓力舒緩方法等。對於未來的復康

服務發展，智障人士老化的問題則是受訪者最關注的一項。

上述受訪者所關注的內容，此錦囊已一一涵概。這本錦囊亦

以處境式的小故事，道出照顧者一般遇到的問題，並配合詳

盡的步驟及例子，使照顧者更容易掌握。 值得一提的是本會

邀請了數名照顧者執筆為錦囊撰寫照顧智障成員的心聲，讓

其他同路人可從中得到勉勵和啟發。

The first-ever renewable energy powered rehabilitative and amusement facility worldwide was officially launched in Hong Chi Pinehill No. 2 School on March 20. Named Green Green Sensy Path, the facility was a combined therapeutic-rehabilitative and educational walking path powered by the solar energy, and was one of the funded projects of CLP Energy Innovation Fund.

Green Green Sensy Path comprised a collection of sensory-stimulating equipments such as sparkling light (visual stimulus), percussion (touch and auditory stimulus), misty water wheel (visual, tactile and auditory stimulus) and interactive musical mushrooms (auditory stimulus). All were

powered by energy collected and transformed from a photovoltaic panel. The path was made up of different kinds of materials such as wood, stone, plastic and metal and the sensory stimulation therapy could be provided for students during the training of barefoot walking.

The installation of the renewable energy powered rehabilitative equipment was supporting the concept of environmental protection. This facility also provided training on the coordination of the sensory organs of the students. Special thanks to the CLP Energy Innovation Fund which made the building of the Path possible.

Special thanks to Oasis Hong Kong Airlines for the generous donation of six roundtrip tickets to London in November last year. The ticket sponsorship provided Hong Chi’s principals and senior teachers a pleasurable flight experience to the United Kingdom, enabling them to learn the latest development of special education and integrated education in the UK.

Four principals and two senior teachers formed a study tour. During the 7-day tour, they visited one mainstream primary school and eight different special schools. There were sharing sessions and meetings with the principals in British schools. They learnt that curriculum in the UK’s special schools was based on the National Curriculum and adaptation was made to suit all students with special educational needs (SEN). All special schools were using P-Scale, a set of standardized assessment tool, to assess performances of the students. Curriculum adaptation was made with reference to the result of the students’ personal learning outcome.

Facing the challenge of the implementation of the integrated education and the decrease in the number of students, some special schools in Cambridge and Essex were merged. This gave rise to a new model of special schools, a kind of non-category school which admitted different categories of the SEN students and offered diversified educational services to cater for varied needs of the SEN students.

The trip had widened the horizons of the teaching staff. We hope the knowledge and good practices learnt from the study tour could be applied in special education in Hong Kong.

滿載收穫的英國考察之旅

A Fruitful Study Visit in the UK

常感謝甘泉香港航空於二零零六年十一月慷慨捐贈六套

前往英國倫敦的來回機票，讓本會屬校校長及教師可乘坐舒

適的客機到英國進行考察，了解當地特殊教育及融合教育的

最新發展。

考察團由四位校長及兩位資深主任組成。隊伍於七日的行程

中，參觀了一所主流小學和八所不同類型的特殊學校，並與

當地學校校長進行特殊教育的交流及討論。是次考察讓成員

認識到英國的學校除依據國家教育局所頒行的中央課程外，

部份特殊學校更會按學生的能力調適校本課程。各特殊學校

亦會以劃一評估機制 — 表現指標 (P-Scale) 來評估學生的能

力，並因應其表現而調適課程。

成員亦了解到英國部份特殊學校正面對學生人數下降及融合

教育帶來的影響，劍橋區及艾錫區的特殊學校因此需要合

併，以綜合智力程度等差的學童於同一所學校內，並為他們

提供多元教育服務。

這次考察擴闊了各成員的視野，本會盼望將是次從英國取得

的經驗應用於本地特殊教育發展上。
