SLCO-CR was established in 2016 with the support of the Sustainable Knowledge Transfer Project Fund of The Chinese University of Hong Kong as an independent non-profit charitable organization (charitable institutions which are exempt from tax under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance). SLCO-CR provides multimodal communication to assist people with communication difficulties including children with special educational needs, deaf and elderly. Diversified communication can effectively help them break down communication barriers and improve their language, cognition and social skills.
All the funding raised will be donated to SLCO-CR to support the deaf with financial needs and to guarantee their equal rights to obtain services.
語橋社資是2016年由香港中文大學「可持續知識轉移項目基金」支持而成立的獨立非牟利慈善機構(《稅務條例》第88 條獲豁免繳稅的慈善機構),致力於運用多元溝通輔助有溝通障礙的人士,包括有特殊教育需要的兒童、聾人及長者。多元溝通能有效幫助他們破除溝通障礙,增進他們的語言、認知及社交能力。
我們籌得的善款全數用於資助有經濟需要的人士,促進他們的多元溝通及保障他們接受服務的平等權利。
語橋最初的服務以手語支援為主,現已擴展至運用多元溝通推行復康和教育相闗的服務,當中包括:嬰兒手語班、手語閱讀班、手語雙語共融教育計劃、長者聽力甄別測試及長者手語班等。
