The novel coronavirus has been raging for nearly three years. To prevent the spread of the epidemic, schools have been suspended for a long time, which has greatly reduced the time for face-to-face teaching. Consequently, students’ learning has been affected in a varying extent. The impact is even greater to the students with ASD or developmental delays. In view of this, a webinar on “When Teachers Meet ASD: Post-pandemic Era” for secondary school teachers was held on August 2, 2022. Dr. Elsa Chiu, Psychologist of Department of Psychology from HKU was invited to explore the impact of the epidemic on students, and share practical resources and skills. Experienced professionals from social welfare organisations discussed group trainings, family-school cooperation and case sharing under the epidemic. The seminar was conducted online and the comments from the participants were positive.
