Background
Starting from 2015, student counsellors from our agency have been receiving trainings from the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau and acquire qualifications as speech trainers in providing speech and language training services.
Sheng Kung Hui Macau has sought to answer the increasing need for speech services and to align with the Macau SAR policy focused on children with therapeutic needs. Starting from the academic year 2016/2017, our agency has been recruiting qualified non-local speech therapists to Macau. Proactively, we aim to provide services for children in need during their primal time for treatment.
Our aim of service
Speech is an essential gateway for us in connecting with the outside world. Through language, we are able to communicate and express our needs, as well as to develop social interpersonal skills, learning ability, self-image, emotional management, etc. These abilities are of special importance to the growth and development of children. In view of this, our agency has focused our service on providing assessments on children’s language development as well as providing training-oriented treatments, including: oral-motor trainings, pre-language trainings, language comprehension and expression trainings, articulation trainings, and social communication trainings. At the same time, we also value the needs of the parents, and with the launching of the “Language Sharing” – Parent Resources Platform, it allows parents the access to various assisting tools along with instructional tutorials, as well as providing consultation services for them, etc. Advancements as such aim to assist parents with in-home trainings for children in need of special education in their language abilities, facilitating positive effects of treatment.
