由於每位學生都有其個別需要,故此如何照顧個別差異是學校以至每位老師的一個重要課題。根據香港教育局的融合教育運作指南,建議學校採用三層支援模式,以便因應學生不同的需要而提供適切的支援。而大多數學校均於每年的十二月起進行「及早識別和輔導有學習困難的小一學生計劃」(第一層:及早識別),並會設置輔導課,作為第二層支援的策略。作為學校負責統籌特殊教育需要的行政人員(下稱統籌主任),筆者希望透過檢視香港及不同地區對數學輔導教學的原則及策略,反思如何改善學校的小一數學輔導教學。Since each student has his or her own individual needs, how to cater for individual differences is an important issue for each teacher in schools. According to the Integrated Education Operation Guide of Hong Kong Education Bureau, it is recommended that schools should adopt a 3-tier intervention model to provide appropriate support to cater for students with different educational needs. Most schools carry out the "Early Identification and Intervention Programme for Primary One Students with Learning Difficulties" (First Tier: Early Identification) in December. Remedial classes, small group teaching and pull-out programmes will be involved as a Second Tier support strategy as well. As a school administrator (hereinafter referred to as SENCo) who coordinates the issues of special educational needs, I hope to improve the teaching of Primary One Mathematics in schools by examining the current principles and strategies of remedial teaching in Hong Kong and different regions.

本文探討在倡議智障人士應有生涯規劃下，香港的特教工作者可以如何為智障人士設定引向其期望的生涯規劃。在缺乏成人出路的配套，許多智障人士畢業後變成宅男、宅女。少數得到安置的智障人士，由於成人單位人手不足，他們的生涯亦在少活動、長等待中過去，要求提昇人手比例或生活照顧質素看似奢求。智障人士家長面對子女的醫療、居住、交通等種種生活難題，得到的只是政府重覆的敷衍回應，家長的訴求退卻至致力減少輪候的年期。通過作者個人觀察及實踐體驗，本文提出一些對智障人士生涯規劃的初步建議。 This paper looks at how in advocating for the right to proper career planning, special educators in Hong Kong should guide people with intellectual disabilities to achieve their expected career path. Without the provision of adequate exit arrangements for career placements, many students with intellectual disabilities become unemployed after completion of their school education. For the few who have been given immediate placements, there are very few activities organized for them as adult service units are always short of staff. They tend to spend most of the time idling. Any request to raise the staffing ratio and the quality of care appears to be luxurious. Confronted with other problems in medical services, housing and transportation, what parents of people with intellectual disabilities get are repeated casual responses from the government resulting in parents only asking for the shortening of waiting period. Through personal observation and practical experiences of the author, this paper offers some initial suggestions on career planning for people with disabilities.
