全港有1200名嚴重智障人士正輪候提供日間照顧的展能中心,有家長投訴輪候了十三年,都輪候不到展能中心。有關注組織更指,不少個案因此被迫改用給予殘疾人士的支援服務。  三十歲的子康有嚴重自閉症,要靠媽媽照顧,十七歲開始輪候為嚴重智障人士而設的展能中心。但十三年來都沒消息,唯有使用專為殘疾人士設立的地區支援中心,一邊用一邊等。  現時,全港有81間展能中心、有4800個名額,為嚴重智障人士提供一星期五日的日間照顧;亦會分成細班,針對不同需要和能力,制定工作技能訓練。社署表示,截至今年六月有1200人輪候。  有家長組織指,智障人士要跟社會和朋友保持接觸,但殘疾人士支援中心每班人數多,並無針對智障人士的訓練,學員只是每星期返中心一兩天,不適合嚴重智障人士。  立法會議員張超雄認為,可把各區空置校舍改建成展能中心,提供更多名額,解決根本問題
