For the older disabled children, social centres are available to provide opportunities for learning social skills and pursuing interests.
In schools, training centres and social centres, personal hygiene and sex education are included in the programme. This training is particularly important for the mentally retarded who need to be protected against sexual abuse. Considerable progress has also been made in improving recreational facilities for school children and for handicappped children.
All new public recreational facilities are designed for access by people with locomotive disabilities. Ramps, dropped kerbs, lifts and other special facilities are standard features. Moreover, all recreational programmes organized by the municipal councils are open to disabled children.
Concluding remarks
Ultimately, it is the community's attitude which determines the future of our children. In Hong Kong we have traditionally felt a great sense of responsibility for our children, and as parents we are willing to make great sacrifices to provide them with a promising future. We must ensure that this attitude will not be eroded by the pressures of a modern urban environment.
