The purpose of this study is to identify the usability of parents of developmental rehabilitation services for disabled children. To that end, 120 disabled children and 120 parents were surveyed in 17 cities, including nine cities in Gangwon Province, welfare centers and private institutions in the military. Data analysis used SPSS Statistics 18 and the main findings are as follows. First, there was a significant difference in the type of supply and demand in the general characteristics of parents using the developmental rehabilitation service. Second, the service use characteristics of the developmental rehabilitation service showed a statistically significant difference in the service satisfaction of the private care institution, and third, the process and effect of the service provision of the developmental rehabilitation service were shown to be significant in the service satisfaction level. Fourth, the effect of choice on service satisfaction was significantly shown in the accessibility of developmental rehabilitation services. The significance of the research results is to confirm that the service provision and access to the services of developmental rehabilitation services increases the satisfaction level of disabled children's parents. Accordingly, the discussion and implications for improving the satisfaction level of the use of parents using the developmental rehabilitation service were presented.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of cognitive development and motor development in children with developmental delays. Subjects were 43 children with a mean corrected age of 19.19 month (SD=7.48). The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and the Bayley Scale of Infant Development-second edition (BSID-II) were administered to the total children. Statistical analysis was done by paired t-test and Pearson correlation, using SPSS software. The results were as follows: 1) Most of the children with developmental delays showed statistical delays on the mental scale rather than on the motor scale. 2) The correlation coefficients of cognitive performance and motor performance were ranged between r=.38 and r=.83 in children with developmental delays. 3) Lower motor performance showed significant association with lower cognitive score. The findings suggest that cognitive and motor performance in children with developmental delays was significantly correlated.

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing on the early treatment of children with developmental disability. Data was collected from 102 mothers of children with developmental disability who were treated at 4 rehabilitation facilities in Kyunggi-Do and Kangwon-Do. The results were as follows: 1) Of a total of 102, 63 children began to receive rehabilitation therapy during the period 0~12 months (early treatment group), 38 children after 1 year of age (delayed early treatment group). 2) There were statistically significant differences between the early treatment group and delayed early treatment group for prematurity, low birth weight, the time to discover developmental abnormalities, the time of first diagnosis, and first treatment (p<0.05). 3) There were no statistically significant differences in the two groups for level of education, economic status, risk factors (except prematurity and birth weight), home care, family's cooperation and commuting time (p>0.05). Based on this study, the important factors for early treatment were early detection, early diagnosis and constant follow-up for high-risk babies.

This study is aiming for evaluating the factors influencing rehabilitation medical desire in parents (RMDP) with developmental disability children. This study was made with a randomized sample of 156 parents, who were given a questionnaire about how they feel medical needs for their children. The results of the study were as follows: The RMDP is significantly high in relatively the older aged parents group(p<.01). The RMDP is significantly high in severe disability group(p<.01). The RMDP is significantly high in the more spend group of monthly medical cost(p<.05). The group difference of RMDP by monthly income or movement type of disability is not significant(p>.05). It is thought that medical staff need to be actively involved in parents group with developmental disability children to improve motivation, who is relatively the younger than 35 years old or has mild to moderate disability degree of child.

This study is a qualitative case study whose aims were to investigate the work and welfare service experiences of people with developmental disabilities in the occupational rehabilitation facilities. For the purpose of this study selected as its participants 8 people with developmental disabilities whom has been worked currently in the occupational rehabilitation facilities. The profound interviews of those participants were performed and the data on the occupational rehabilitation facilities were analysed. Also, the study analysed the data in a way of investigating the respondents' statements regarding their work and welfare in the occupational rehabilitation facilities. The results of this analysis, 10 categories, 22 sub-categories and 5 key topics of the respondent's experiences were drawn out. The 5 key topics of the people with developmental disabilities in the occupational rehabilitation facilities were 'pride of the economic stability', 'happiness of work itself', 'a sense of accomplishment of the regular worker', 'recognition and exchange of the coworker and superior', 'expectation of the welfare service and the expansion of the participation in the occupational rehabilitation facilities were 'pride of the economic stability', 'happiness of work itself', 'a sense of accomplishment of the regular worker', 'recognition and exchange of the coworker and superior', 'expectation of the welfare service and the expansion of the participation in the occupational rehabilitation facilities'. Based on the results, implications for the work and welfare service of people with developmental disabilities in the occupational rehabilitation facilities were provided.

Early detection and intervention is critical in improving prognosis of developmental disorders. Developmental delay can have many different causes and the clinical features of developmental delay are diverse according to its etiologic causes and severity. The vast and rapid growth of the child's neurobehavioral repertoire from birth through adolescence requires the physician's abundant experience, knowledge, and understanding of development. Here, we summarize instruments for use in neurodevelopmental assessment of infants and toddlers, focusing on motor development, which is the most frequent complaint listed in the developmental clinic.

Objective : This study sought to explore occupational therapy students' awareness of Developmental Rehabilitation Services (DRSs) and the certification of Sensory Developmental Rehabilitation Service Providers (SDRSPs). Moreover, it also aimed to examine the differences in students' awareness based on general characteristics. The findings were intended to provide a foundation for research on sensory developmental rehabilitation. Methods : An online survey was conducted among 199 occupational therapy students nationwide from October 4 to November 5, 2022. Frequency analysis was used to assess the general characteristics and additional items. Both descriptive statistics and frequency analysis were employed to assess the students' awareness of DRSs and SDRSP certification. Any differences in the students' awareness based on their general characteristics were examined using t-tests and an analysis of variance. Results : The students' awareness of DRSs was moderate (4.50 ± 2.40), while their awareness of SDRSP certification was also moderate (4.22 ± 2.55). The awareness of DRSs varied significantly based on the students' academic year and child-related practice experience. Similarly, the awareness of SDRSP certification differed significantly based on the students' academic program, academic year, recognition by the related department, and child-related practice experience. Conclusion : The occupational therapy students expressed a strong intention to provide DRSs and become certified as SDRSPs. However, their awareness levels were moderate. These findings emphasize the importance of educational efforts and the provision of relevant information about DRSs and SDRSP certification in universities to foster the development of competent SDRSPs.
