Can schools in Hong Kong legally refuse admission?

My child is about to graduate from kindergarten, and we’ve been applying to schools for Primary 1. So far, we haven’t secured any offers because he hasn’t done well in the interviews. I’m feeling really worried and wondering—are schools legally required to support children with special needs like my son? Can they refuse admission because of his diagnosis?
