About Us
Colors of Expression was founded by 8 students from CUHK in 2024. We are concerned about the relationship between children with ASD and their parents, we believe art could provide a space to increase their mutual understanding.
Background
ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects an individual's social activities, communication skills, and behavior patterns.
Main Symptoms of ASD
Social interaction: Often have difficulty understanding the emotions and intentions of others, as well as expressing their feelings properly.
Language expression: Often reuse certain words, have fixed interests and behavior patterns, and are resistant to changes and new things.
Extreme sensitivity to sensory stimuli: Have special reactions to noise, light, smells, etc., will feel uncomfortable and anxious in certain environments. (Seltzer., 2003)
Our Goal
In the 4-session workshop, we would like to facilitate parent-child communication and interaction, and create enjoyable memories for our participants.
Our Mission
Bridging the current service gap - similar projects in HK aim at symptom reduction of children with ASD, but we focus on the parent-child relationship to improve the lives of families with children with ASD.
