LOOKING UP: BRIGHTER FUTURES, TOGETHER
Down Syndrome Symposium 2026
Thriving Through School & Early Adolescence: Ages 6 - 12
Join us for the second in a new series of symposiums exploring and celebrating the school-age journey of individuals with Down Syndrome and their families in Hong Kong SAR. Through three panels, families will discuss their personal journey, we will gain insights from professionals on schooling, SEN support and inclusive education and we will hear from organisations that provide practical support and resources for independence and inclusion.
The GAP: Hong Kong has a range of resources for the Down syndrome community, but these are not always easy to navigate, particularly for school-age inclusion
The FIX: This symposium series seeks to build for a collaborative ecosystem. The inaugural 2025symposium addressed the early years; this second event centres on ages 6-12; the third will encompass adolescence and adulthood.
The GOAL: Our aim is to consolidate resources, information and community access in a shared, online space, so individuals with Down syndrome and their families have a sense of purpose and belonging in their journey.
This symposium is a free event and open to everyone! Families, friends, professionals and anyone with an interest in learning more about Down syndrome.
Reach out to hello@albextra.org to enquire further about the event or scan the QR Code on the invite to register.
With help and support A Little Bit Extra is planning and hoping to change lives in Hong Kong and all across Asia. With Hong Kong as our base what we achieve in this magical city will positively affect lives across the region as the charity expands.
Your donations will assist in changing the lives of children and families who will be able to use our resources and services throughout the year. Funds raised will also be used to create programmes, events and activities to enrich the lives of our families.
