言語及聽覺科學系學生於2011年在香港大學支持下成立「心言」,以「打破隔膜 用心對話」為宗旨。
「心言」致力舉辦與言語治療有關的社區服務,並推廣社區共融及平等機會。
「心言」本年度的目標為擴大服務對象,以心言成立多年的使命作為根基,推廣社區共融及平等機會。今年我們除了舉辦以特殊學習需要兒童為目標的一連串活動及服務,將會加入以有吞嚥困難及聽力損失的長者為目標的服務和展覽,進一步實行社區共融。除了推廣社區共融及平等機會,我們亦期望通過公眾活動和社區服務,能夠提高大眾對言語及聽覺健康資訊的關注。
“Speechians’ Action” is established by students of the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences, HKU in 2011.
With the motto “Make Whole-hearted Dialogue Among Children”,
our mission is to promote social integration of vulnerable groups in the society. We hope to assist the public participation in and acknowledgment of social respect and equality.
In the year of 2016-17, we intend to expand our service target group base on our mission. Adding on to social services focusing on children with SEN, we also proposed services aimed at elderly with hearing and swallowing problems. We hope to serve these vulnerable groups by applying our knowledge related to speech and hearing sciences. We anticipate to promote social inclusion by connecting the public and these vulnerable groups through these events. On the other hand, we also wish to raise awareness of public health issues concerning speech and hearing pathology and well-being by holding a range of public activities and social service.
