Special education and additional learning support help students access learning and participate in school. Support may include teaching adjustments, targeted learning support, collaboration with families and professionals, or a specialised placement where appropriate.

Find providers
A school may adapt instructions, materials, classroom routines or assessment arrangements to support access to learning.
Depending on assessed needs and school arrangements, support may be delivered individually, in a small group or through classroom teaching.
Teachers may work with the student, family and relevant professionals to set goals and review support.
A guide to the process
School support is usually planned around the school's timetable and the student's needs; there is no universal session or programme length. Ask when support is reviewed and how arrangements may change.
Hong Kong follows a dual-track approach: students with SEN may receive support in ordinary schools, while eligible students with more intensive needs may be considered for aided special-school placement after specialist assessment and with parental consent. Start with the school's Student Support Team (SST) or SENCO; placement and support are not one universal package.
School-based learning support is not the same as private tutoring or clinical therapy. Hong Kong's Education Bureau describes school support measures; individual arrangements depend on assessment and school processes.
