How to use this

Pick a province and a city or district. You get two lists for that area. The first is programs run by disability welfare centers: name, description, who can join, hours, fee, and how to reach the center.

The second is developmental rehabilitation service providers: name, address, and phone. Both datasets are standard data under the Ministry of Health and Welfare, downloaded from Korea's Public Data Portal.

Open spots, capacity, and whether a program is taking sign-ups are not in the data. So this site doesn't tell you that either. Call to check. Phone numbers are tap-to-call.

Article 21(1) of the Act on Welfare Support for Disabled Children says the national and local governments may support developmental rehabilitation services for a disabled child's cognition, communication, adaptive behavior, and sensory and motor function.

Article 21(3) sets the period: from the month after the child is selected until the month the child turns 18, or 20 if the child is enrolled in school under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

Article 21(4) lets local governments designate provider institutions. The provider list here is the standard data those local governments published.

This site doesn't decide who qualifies or how much the voucher is worth. Article 21(2) leaves that to the authorities, based on disability type, severity, and family income. Ask the office where you live.

Quotes are summarized from the Korean statute text on law.go.kr. The Korean text governs.

We don't link the two datasets. There's no shared institution ID. Matching by similar names would glue the wrong places together. So they sit side by side within the same area.

Center phone numbers are collected from that center's rows. Some rows have a number, some don't. If a center lists several, you see all of them. If none, we show the managing office's number separately.

A blank fee shows as "not listed". Blank is not free. Only rows that say 0 show 0 won.

Representative names are in the source, but we leave them out. They're personal names, and you don't need them to find a place.

Area names come straight from the source's province and district fields. Old names would be mapped to current ones only. This load had none, and no row's address disagreed with its area.

• Start with your area. On the home page, tap a city or district under its province.
• Check who can join first. Some programs take adults only, some take children or families. The source wording is shown as is, in Korean.
• Narrow it down. Type a word in the search box on the area page. Korean words work best, since the data is in Korean.
• When you call, say the program name as written. It helps the center find it fast.

• Check the data date. Each area page lists the reference dates for both datasets. Older data may be out of date.
• Use the managing office number. It's usually the city, county, or district office that published the data. Call it if you don't know where to apply.
• Look at neighboring areas. A provider next door may be closer. Use the map link to judge distance.

My area isn't listed. The source has no data for it yet. That doesn't mean there are no services.

The phone number is blank. It's blank in the source too. Try the managing office number.

I want to know if there's an opening. Capacity isn't in this data. Only a phone call will tell you.

What gets recorded? We don't send which area you looked at. See the privacy page.
