The mission of the Korea Rehabilitation Centre for Children with Disabilities is to detect symptoms of disabilities among children at an early time, help them recover their functions and nurse and educate them so as to make them be able to receive school education like normal children.

The public takes a close interest in the institution in the country.

According to a well-organized system of detecting children with disabilities in good time, the centre finds them out from across the country to give them timely treatment.

The centre is furnished with rooms for assessment of disabilities, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, playing, study, regaining of hearing and art education.

Nurses, teachers and doctors in charge at the centre do their best for the rehabilitation of children with disabilities. 

 The children learn about correct manners in everyday life, oral language, handwriting, counting and colour and receive art education and rehabilitation treatment.

Song Hyang Chun, directress of the centre, said that children with disabilities enjoy all the state benefits just like normal children, noting that they are also provided with dairy products, nutritious foodstuffs and school things while enjoying great medical benefits including vaccination.

At a meeting held on June 1 to mark June 1 International Children’s Day, disabled children gave an art performance and played sports and amusement games together with children of Tongmun Kindergarten No. 2 in Taedonggang District in Pyongyang. Seeing their bright and cheerful looks, every parent was moved to tears. 

The nurses, teachers and doctors of the centre work hard to put the rehabilitation of those children on a specialized and scientific basis by actively introducing advanced science and technology.
