About Us

The Children's Institute of Hong Kong is the first School in Hong Kong set up solely to educate children who fall within the Autistic spectrum. Our goal is to provide a quality education for children who can not learn in a mainstream environment as well to provide academic and behavioral support for children who can learn in a typical education setting.

TCI is a private, non profit school established in 2003. We are dedicated to providing the best education and intervention services for children with autism and their families.

Research-based teaching procedures and individualized programs facilitate the development of skills across all curriculum areas including academics, language, social, leisure, play, community, vocational, domestic, work studies and self care. All skills are systematically taught through highly structured one-to-one and small group teaching sessions. Families are an integral part of the students' programs. To ensure that the students' and their families' needs are met beyond the school day, the Family Consultation and Education Program includes:

• monthly observation hours by family members of their children during the school day at TCI
• parent and helper education workshops
• home visits by the TCI team to develop specific skill acquisition and behavior reduction programs to increase the quality of life of the child and the family,
• assistance in referrals to community resources,
• a daily communication book between the school and home

Educational clinics are held with teachers, parents and helpers to address any learning changes or concerns. This helps to provide consistency between the home and school environments. Here at The Children's Institute we have an open door policy. Any parent or member of the community can come by and observe the program and the work we are doing at any time. No appointment is necessary. We encourage both parent and community involvement.
