For Happy Laughter of Children with Disabilities
The Korea Rehabilitation Centre for Children with Disabilities engages in nursing and upbringing children suffering from such diseases as autism, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment and Down`s syndrome by spotting them in early stages and recovering their health.
Based on the research and study on the developmental disorders of children across the country, the centre detects those children in early stages and applies scientific rehabilitation remedies to them according to their disorders and ages.
It is easier said than done to take care of and educate those children who fail to communicate well with their parents.
But the nurses, teachers and doctors cooperate with each other to administer kinesitherapies for rehabilitation, including fine, intellectual development and balancing exercises. They also stay with children to help them familiarize themselves with the movements in daily life.
Last year, the centre conducted the grading evaluation of Ri Ju Won (5-year-old boy) with intellectual impairment and succeeded in treating him.
Since its inauguration it has rehabilitated hundreds of early-detected children with disabilities.
It also encourages the disabled children to take part in various activities like guide education, mixed education, single education and treatment education together with healthy children.
Dairy products and other nutritious foods are supplied to the centre according to the daily supply standard of nutritious foods set by the state for other nurseries, kindergartens and schools.
The children lead a happy life cheerfully in the centre, though they stay away from their parents for nearly a week.
