Letter from our Founder

Founder and Director: Mrs. Josephina Anna Lee


In the past 3 decades, I met about 1000 cases.  Among these cases, we found over 200 cases of gifted and talented individuals across age levels.  I am deeply touched by the real stories of these gifted individuals whose perceptiveness, persistent quest for meaning and compassion are spring of joy and wisdom. Such deep experience has become a special source of knowledge enriching, not simply my career but also my life journey.  I grow with my clients and give my wholehearted support to serve their inner desire for fulfillment.  And we share such passion through community services including public awareness education to reach more people from different background.

Over the years, in addition to serving the individuals and their families, we conducted seminars and professional workshops for diverse professional communities including medical doctors, social workers, educators, as well as lay public. In order to serve the neurodiverse and complex needs of our clients, I have developed collaborative relationship with a wide range of health professionals in Hong Kong (e.g. family doctors, pediatricians, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, behavioral optometrist, dietitian, family therapists etc. etc.). 

Furthermore, I have developed international networks with institutions such as the Gifted Development Center, Denver and The Center for Talented Youth of Johns Hopkins University, S.E.P. of University of North Colorado, D.I.S.C.O.V.E.R. of University of Arizona institutions renowned for assessment, counseling and special education programs for the gifted. In the past few years, I actively engage in collaborative coaching with universities in the States, UK and Australia for case follow-ups of gifted and talented students with autism diagnoses. Maintaining collaborative networks with worldwide institutes keep our service to align with international standards of practice. Our inspiration grows and glows!

In addition to international connections, I was also appointed as advisor to the Counselling Center of the Hong Kong Boys' and Girl's Association between 2000-2005. I am also the founder member of ADHD Foundation and actively involved in research projects and community education. Recently, I initiate community service on promoting social solidarity among the homeless in Hong Kong for the service of love. Furthermore, we start a community project serving highly able autistic youth with transition support towards college and independence.

Learning keeps me going and uncovering the meaning of life wherever I go, whatever I do and whenever my spirit rises or falls.
