Agency Introduction
The Parents’ Association of Pre-school Handicapped Children was founded in 1986 by a group of passionate parents to present their views to the Government on the severe shortage of service for preschool children with disabilities. In February 1987, the concerned group was registered as a non-profit making organization, and its registration was changed to limited company in 2001. The Association is now a member of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. In 1993, the Association was awarded the “Outstanding Rehabilitation Self-help Organization 1993” .
