- Satisfaction with care services for disabled children increases according to the survey results of the Disability Rights Alliance

Jeollabuk Special Self-Governing Province is stepping up efforts to establish a comprehensive care network by allocating 251.6 billion won for care for disabled children and their families by 2026.

This accounts for 48% of the total disability welfare budget of 526.8 billion won, marking a historic high with an increase of 37 billion won compared to the previous year's budget of 214.6 billion won.

The province aims to substantially alleviate the burden of care on families through the expansion of care infrastructure, the expansion of support programs, and the strengthening of tailored support for individuals with developmental disabilities throughout their life cycles.

The results of the expanded policy are also evident. According to a survey by the Disability Rights Alliance, satisfaction with care services for disabled children increased from 92 points in 2024 to 97.6 points in 2025. As on-site satisfaction increases, expectations for qualitative improvements in the public care system are also growing.

The province operates 54 care facilities for disabled children with a total investment of 21.9 billion won. The newly established "Jeollabuk Disabled Children Support Center" performs integrated support functions from early detection to counseling, diagnosis, and treatment with an investment of 580 million won.

The number of facilities providing individual 1:1 support for severely disabled individuals has been expanded from 9 to 10, with a separate budget of 3.1 billion won allocated for 24-hour individual 1:1 operation support to minimize care gaps. In addition, the province strengthens the local care system through the operation of 34 facilities for disabled individuals, 3 family support centers for disabled individuals, and emergency care support for individuals with developmental disabilities.

A total of 229.7 billion won is allocated for care support programs, with plans to support a total of 14,080 individuals through 11 projects. The childcare support program for disabled children, with a budget of 9.5 billion won, will support 520 individuals and increase the annual support hours per person from 1,080 hours to 1,200 hours.

The Disability Activity Support Program will also increase the number of beneficiaries to 5,986 with an investment of 172.8 billion won. Additionally, policies to alleviate family burdens, such as vouchers for individual 1:1 support for severely disabled individuals, family rest support, and parent education and counseling support, will be implemented simultaneously.

Tailored support according to life cycle stages will also be strengthened. The Developmental Rehabilitation Services Voucher will increase the monthly support unit price from 250,000 won to 260,000 won with an investment of 10.8 billion won, and the Language Development Services will also raise the monthly support unit price from 220,000 won to 240,000 won.

A provincial official stated, "Care for disabled children cannot be solved through a single project," and expressed, "We will continue to provide sustained support for disabled children and their families to grow and become independent in the local community by strengthening an integrated care system where infrastructure and services are organically connected."
