Starting from the 2018/19 school year, the Jockey Club Keen and Active Kids Project has been providing group training for students with ADHD in mainstream primary and secondary schools using evidence-based practices to enhance their executive function in learning, social and emotional skills. Through the 'Training Resource Kit' developed by the research team of the University of Hong Kong and our partner non-governmental organizations, we hope to strengthen the support for students with ADHD with practical suggestions and examples.

The Training Resource Kit includes:

Volume 1

Training Resource Kit User's Guide

Volume 2

Core Training and Supporting Services

Volume 3

Introduction to Training: Impulse Control and Social Behavior Management

Volume 4

Introduction to Training: Emotional Management

Volume 5

Volume 6

The resource kit also includes links to an online resource library, including Student Training Needs Scale, Service Review Questionnaires, Sample Group Training Programs, Suggested Group Activities, and other teaching resources.

Resource Kit Users
Instructors of the group training should be social workers, educators and other relevant professionals. Instructors should have a thorough understanding of the learning patterns and needs of students with ADHD and master the strategies for teaching them. In designing and delivering the training, it is advisable to consult educational psychologists or occupational therapists with relevant experience.

To make learning fun and interactive, a series of characters have been created for this program, including primary and secondary school students with ADHD, their friends, their parents, school personnel, trainers. We have also visualised the functions of the brain and created the characters of “Capt. F” (Prefrontal cortex which takes part in rational thinking), “Dr. A” (Amygdala which takes part in emotion regulation) and “Mr. H” (Hippocampus which takes part in memory) to enhance student's understanding between the relationship of ADHD and the brain structures.
