In Hong Kong, SEN children include a wide range of disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, special learning difficulties and the like, with ASD and ADHD comprising a relatively high population among the SEN types (Legco, 2021). The government has taken steps to improve support for students with SEN, such as increasing funding for SEN education and providing school-based educational psychological services (Education Bureau, 2021). However, there is still a need of greater awareness of the roles of parents who influence them as significant others throughout their childhood, an understanding of SEN in the wider community, as well as an increase in resources and support for SEN students

We are going to propose a project that aims to encourage empathy, understanding and positive action of parents with special education needs (SEN) children. We aim to raise public awareness of the unique challenges faced by families with SEN children. Our ultimate goal is to improve the parenting outcomes of SEN children aged 2-17, mainly focusing on ASD and ADHD. Main activities include an exhibition centred around a two-chair virtual reality paradigm that enables parents to experience the perspective of SEN children, alongside a website featuring online SEN resources. We believe that our project has the potential to create positive social impacts. By creating a more empathetic and understanding community, we hope to improve parenting for all families,  regardless of their special needs
