[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Social Service Institute announced on the 6th that it conducted developmental monitoring for infants and toddlers suspected of having developmental issues or delays at its affiliated Dundeun Children's Centers.

This project was implemented to promote the healthy growth of infants and toddlers through objective diagnosis and developmental support programs tailored to each child's developmental status. The Institute fully covered the costs of examinations and consultations.

Over the past year, the Institute observed all infants and toddlers at Dundeun Children's Centers and provided a total of 105 sessions of counseling and therapy in areas such as physical, language, and emotional development for 15 children requiring special assistance. When developmental delays were a concern after the assessments, parents were offered customized solutions based on the child's developmental status along with consultations from professional therapists.

Additionally, education on understanding infant and toddler development?including topics such as 'Developmental Delays and Developmental Disabilities,' 'Disability Diagnosis and Registration,' and 'Characteristics of Developmental Areas in Toddlers with ADHD'?was provided to 204 childcare staff and parents to foster healthy growth and establish a professional caregiving environment.

CEO Jeongil Hwang stated, “Early childhood is the foundational period for growth, and since each child develops at a different pace, it is important to provide support tailored to individual speeds. We will continue to offer specialized, customized public childcare programs to ensure all infants and toddlers can grow healthily.”
