家長小組花絮 - 2023年10月份 The Parents Workshop in Oct 2023 was successfully completed. The group tutors of CODA HK and parents worked together to make a variety of handcrafts, such as light clay painting, origami, turkish coaster, sign language flash cards. When their little KODAs were having the speech therapy or playgroup at the other side, parents can relax and enjoy the self-moment by sharing with other parents and making their own interesting mini handcrafts.
Let's check out! How concentrate the parents are! 😊 幼兒言語訓練小組 (2023/10-11)CODA HK一直關注聾人家庭子女的言語發展, 因為幼兒愈早接受言語訓練對他們將來的語言發展有莫大的幫助, 愈早接受訓練除了協助KODA們打好言語基礎, 也令他們學會上課的基本規矩, 為入讀幼稚園或升小學作準備。CODA HK的言語治療小組由言語治療師執教並有2位助教協助課堂, 採用小班教學, 針對幼兒KODA需要進行言語訓練。
課堂上老師會教導日常生活的字詞及發音, 以互動遊戲方式引發幼兒學習語言動機, 同時亦會糾正幼兒的發音。我們很高興, 經過數次小組後, 很多KODA小朋友已有顯注進步, 而且因表達能力改善了, 情緒上亦有明顯改善, CODA HK很高興看到他們的轉變, 希望能幫助更多有需要的KODA。 CODA HK has always been concerned about the speech development of KODAs. We believe receiving speech training at their early stage helps KODAs lay a good foundation, they can also learn rules in the CODA HK’s classroom which is very useful for preparing ahead for their school life. The Speech Therapy at CODA HK is led by a recognized speech therapist with 2 teaching assistants to assist in the lesson. Small group teaching to make sure we can focus on KODAs’ training needs. Teacher teaches daily vocabularies and sight words as well as the most common used sounds in daily life, stimulate KODA's motivation to learn how to speak through interactive games and correct their pronunciation when needed. We are glad that after several sessions, KODAs have noticed significant improvement, and with their better expression, their emotion has also improved. CODA HK is very delighted to see their transformation and hope to help more KODAs in need. 功課輔導班 (SEN學童)我們了解SEN學童於學習上有特殊需要, 比其他小朋友需要更多時間去吸收及消化知識。CODA HK會協助聾人子女SEN學童單對單補習, 導師可更深入了解學童的學習困難。1:1的形式有助導師可以循序漸進, 由淺入深去教導及解釋。同時, 導師亦會關顧及留意學童的情緒, 現時學童的學習壓力相當大, 引導他們緩解情緒亦十分重要。
CODA HK understands the special needs of SEN child, they need more time on learning. CODA HK provides 1-on-1 tutorials for SEN Koda, it allows the teacher to have a deeper understanding about their learning difficulties and the area they need to improve. Via the 1:1 session, the teacher will guide the child and explain the complex things by simple concept step by step. Meanwhile, the teacher will keep eyes on their emotion. Intensive learning brings huge pressure on children, it is very important to guide them to relieve their emotions. 「心繫家庭」家長教育講座及工作坊由香港家長教育學會主辦﹑香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助的「心繫家庭」第二階段家長教育計劃展開。10月份於CODA HK會址進行了2場親職講座及1次成長工作坊﹐講者及培訓導師為香港家庭教育學會專業顧問及委員。 兩次講座的主題圍繞重拾父母思維親職﹐希望藉此教育聾人父母﹐認識父母在家庭中的角色及親職;而成長工作坊則透過活動令聾人父母可以更明白孩子的需要﹐令親子關係更加融洽。 Organized by the Hong Kong Parent Education Association (HKPEA) and supported by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the second phase of the "Family Care" Parent Education Program was launched. In October, two seminars and one workshop were held at the CODA HK centre. The speaker is consultant and committee member of HKPEA. The topic of these two seminars is about regaining parental thinking, hoping to educate deaf parents about the parent’s role in the family. The workshop enables deaf parents to better understand their children's needs and enhance their parent-child relationship.
中秋節是家人團聚的節日, CODA HK舉辦了「親親中秋節」的親子活動, 邀請多個聾人家庭一起共慶中秋。小朋友與家長互相合作, 猜燈謎, 摺紙兔再一起製作燈籠。小朋友手舞足蹈, 用盡混身解數向父母翻譯燈題。摺紙兔的時候, 大小朋友都細心觀察, 一步步按著導師指導學習。在各個小活動中, 發現原來KODA都有很強的表達能力, 而且動靜佳宜, 亦很樂於與父母以手語及身體語言細細溝通。雖然大家平時生活忙碌, 各自要兼顧工作或學業實在不容易, 但只要花點點時間相處, 親子關係就可邁進一大步。這次「親親中秋節」的親子活動十分成功, 大家都樂在其中, CODA HK 祝大家中秋節快樂!
Mid-Autumn Festival is a family reunion festive. CODA HK organized this activity to celebrate together with CODA family. Parent and Koda collaborated for several activities like playing riddle game, origami and doing handcraft together. KODAs are very energetic, they spent all efforts to translate the riddle to parent. When doing handcraft, they were patient to follow the steps with instructor's guidance. We found they potentially have strong expression competence and they are adapted to various scense in the activity. KODAs are flexible and willing to use both sign and body language to communicate with their parents. Life is busy, but spending quality time is always a big step forward for family relation.

The International Conference for Children of Deaf Adults (CODA) in 2023, hosted by South Korea, was successfully held from June 29th to July 2nd (Hong Kong time) for four consecutive days. This is the first time that an Asian country, South Korea, has hosted the international CODA conference. Throughout the conference, not only American Sign Language but also Korean Sign Language was used as the primary means of communication. Participants not only came from Europe and America, but also from Asian countries such as Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, India, and Malaysia, recognizing the importance of this milestone in development. CODA Hong Kong also received international recognition and was awarded for their service contributions. Four Hong Kong representatives from CODA participated in the conference and had the chance to interact and connect with 151 CODAs from 22 countries around the world. Most of them are active in contributing to the deaf community, including professionals in counseling, research, sign language interpretation, and passionate advocates for their CODA identity. They deeply appreciated the solidarity and resonance of being with fellow CODAs, which greatly enhanced their sense of identity, cultural and linguistic knowledge, and balanced their psychological well-being, enabling them to embrace and accept themselves as well as contribute to the community. Finally, heartfelt thanks were extended to the organizers of the conference and the kind support of CODAs from around the world for helping to celebrate CODAHK's 10th anniversary and Deaf Children's Day with a charity sale that raised approximately HKD 3,395 (USD 435) after deducting costs, truly demonstrating the spirit of mutual assistance among fellow travelers.
