Laureus- ADHD Students Running Program
RunOurCity Foundation is honored to receive funding from Laureus to launch a short-term pilot program, “ADHD Students Running Program,” aimed at helping SEN youth improve focus and enhance self-care skills through running.
The goals of the program include building confidence in SEN youth, helping them connect with society. Additionally, the objective of the program is to provide parents with a supportive environment while equipping them with more knowledge related to SEN, thereby strengthening family relationships.
Our program is supported by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, which provides academic analysis and research on the physical and mental benefits of running for SEN students. In addition, our program is led by running coaches experienced in teaching SEN students.
Program Objectives
❖ To enhance physical health, endurance, and resilience in SEN students through systematic running practices and trainings.
❖ To offer a respite space for parents of SEN students and equip caregivers with more knowledge related to SEN.
❖ To train more running coaches to provide effective running and exercise programs for SEN students.
❖ To establish an evidence-based running training program that can serve as best practices for SEN service organizations and schools in the long run.
❖ To set a future blueprint for SEN education and services through empirical research published by university professors.
