In Hong Kong, accessing affordable and comprehensive assistance for children with autism can be difficult. Many families face obstacles in finding the right resources and services. However, we’re here to offer a solution.
Since 2016, we have been providing a unique and effective service for children with autism from low-income families. We offer a one-month intensive ABA Treatment, free of charge*. This program, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, aims to ensure that every child, regardless of their financial situation, can receive high-quality therapy.
During this month-long program, children benefit from over 50 hours of direct intervention tailored to their specific needs. But it doesn’t end there. We also provide training to parents, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to continue teaching and supporting their children even after the treatment concludes.
Children will receive a month (20 days) of intensive 1 on 1 treatment using our progressive approach of ABA (APM™) from our professionally trained therapists.
An Individualized Education Plan will be designed to cater to each child’s unique developmental needs. Common areas of focus include (but are not limited to):
By fostering open communication, providing training and guidance, and offering continued support, we are dedicated to empowering parents in their crucial role as supporters and caregivers for their children.

Before treatment begins, our supervisor will conduct a phone interview with the parent to gain a deeper understanding of the child's situation. This interview is crucial in formulating the treatment content. Parent's active participation during the phone interview is vital in enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
A deposit of HKD2,000 will be applicable. Full refund of the deposit will be provided if the child maintains an attendance rate of 90% or higher (attending 45 out of 50 hours). The refund of the deposit will be processed on the last day of treatment. However, in case of lower attendance, the deposit will NOT be refunded. If the child is unable to attend due to illness, a medical certificate must be submitted to exclude the day’s hours from the total attendance rate calculation. Failure to provide a medical certificate will result in the hours absent considered as unexcused.
Prior to the commencement of treatment, the child will attend a Probe session at our Therapy and Support Center. The purpose of this Probe session is to allow the supervisor to assess the child, gain further insight into their unique situation, and subsequently communicate with the parent the initial treatment plan.
