South Kwai Chung Social Service has been a charitable institution since its establishment in October 1987 and a member institution of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service and also the Community Chest for more than two decades. As what our mission says, “We serve with love from our hearts”, we are committed to serving the grassroots especially those who are in need and live in the Kwai Tsing District, regardless of their religions, sex, age and ethnicity. We are also dedicated ourselves to promoting physical and mental health and raising the overall quality of life in the community through a wide range of service in multidisciplinary collaboration between primary care doctors, allied health professionals, social sector and non-governmental organization (NGO) workers.
Speech And Swallowing Therapy Centre, one of the six centres under South Kwai Chung Social Service, was established in June 2014 and aims at providing different types of services to improve their health and raise their quality of life. The services include speech therapy, health measurement and rehabilitation training.
Speech And Swallowing Therapy Centre provides professional rehabilitation service for people with communication and/or swallowing disorders. They are delivered by the speech therapists in the form of professional and comprehensive assessment and intervention. Speech therapist will design treatment according to the needs of individual patients.
The service is not only for improving patients’ oral motor function, boosting their self-confidence and helping them enhance communication and social skills, but also for equipping care givers’ necessary knowledge and skills during the treatment process. Under this circumstance, patients with communication and swallowing disorders become healthier, and it helps deepen their family members’ understanding of the situation.
