title = "Social Workers{\textquoteright} Strategies for Supporting Career Transition for Disadvantaged Girls with SEN: A Hong Kong Case Study of a Class in Digital Drawing",
abstract = "By discovering the strengths of students with special educational needs (SEN), we can develop better ways of helping them gain self-esteem and empowerment. This chapter contests the notion of being {\textquoteleft}learning-disabled{\textquoteright} by indicating how students with SEN are actually {\textquoteleft}differently-enabled{\textquoteright} when career practitioners adopt a neurodiversity perspective. We provide a case study to illustrate how Hong Kong social workers in a community-based career development project supported three disadvantaged girls with SEN to consider their options more positively when making the transition from school to work. It represents an example of a {\textquoteleft}strengths-based{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}empowerment-oriented{\textquoteright} approach that builds on the girls{\textquoteright} deep interest in digital drawing to pursue a meaningful learning process in career path exploration.",
