Students with ADHD often face challenges in learning, relationships and emotional regulation, yet they also possess unique strengths and potential. We were honoured to have Mr. Lam Ho Man Human, an educator who grew up with ADHD, share his personal journey—from being a rebellious and restless student to becoming a dedicated teacher who inspires and supports young people. The session was expertly moderated by Mr. Kung Hin Ming Herman, Programme Manager at HKU SPACE and a Registered Counselling Psychologist, who offered professional insights into common ADHD presentations, school-related learning difficulties, and evidence-informed support strategies. Their dialogue brought together lived experience and clinical perspective in a clear and practical way.

This talk attracted over 140 alumni to participate face-to-face and online, and the audience remained highly engaged throughout. The Q&A session was particularly active, with participants raising thoughtful questions on parenting, school support and emotional regulation. After the talk, participants also stayed to speak with the speaker and moderator for further enquiries. Through authentic storytelling and professional analysis, the talk deepened participants’ understanding of ADHD and provided practical takeaways for supporting children and adolescents in building confidence and reaching their full potential.
