ASD, ADHD & SCHOOL SUPPORT · HONG KONG

Helping children with ASD, ADHD or both thrive in Hong Kong's mainstream and international schools

If your child struggles to focus, cope with change or follow routines at school, I help you, your helper and, with your consent, their school use the same simple plan.


I'm Charming, a trilingual BCBA (English, Cantonese, Mandarin), and for 15 years I have guided families through school readiness, interview preparation and the move between Hong Kong's mainstream and international schools.

Tell me what your child's school has shared with you, and on a free 15-minute call we'll work out the next step.

Families who found their harmony

Walking alongside Hong Kong families to rebuild secure connection under pressure.

Charming didn't just help our son settle into his ESF kindergarten. She trained our helper too, and the meltdowns at home finally stopped. Our whole family feels different now.

「Charming不單幫助兒子順利適應英基(ESF)幼稚園,更悉心培訓了我們的家務助理,家中的情緒崩潰終於停止。我們整個家的氣氛都改變了。」

Mother of a 4-year-oldHK Island • 港島家長

Under local school pressure, my daughter developed intense anxiety. Charming translated behavioural science into gentle habits we could practise together. Now, she walks into class smiling.

「在本地小學的高壓環境下,女兒曾出現嚴重焦慮。Charming將行為科學化成我們一家能一起練習的小習慣。現在,女兒每天都笑著走進課室。」

I believe clinical science shouldn’t feel clinical.

Practical. Compassionate. Human-Centred.

“Gentle, evidence-based behaviour support that empowers families, domestic helpers, and educators — providing practical, human-centred strategies for school readiness and home harmony.”

Ecosystem Alignment

One caring team surrounds the child.

School-Ready Confidence
