In view of the increasing number of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Hong Kong’s mainstream primary and secondary schools, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust initiated the “JC A-Connect: Jockey Club Autism Support Network” (JC A-Connect) in 2015. The first of its kind in the city, JC A-Connect provides holistic support for children with ASD attending mainstream schools, and their parents. The programme offers school-based support for such students and schools; provides support to parents and families through 18 centres throughout the city, as well as organising public education programmes with the aim to raising public awareness and understanding about ASD.
