LG Electronics Supports Independence for Disabled People... Provides Easy-to-Read Books and Products

Home Appliance School Project Launch
Free Distribution of 'Easy Reading Books' and Product Donation

LG Electronics is launching support activities for the independence of people with disabilities in celebration of Disability Day (April 20), aiming for a "better life for everyone."

On the 19th, LG Electronics announced the launch of the "Home Appliance School Project" to help children and adolescents with developmental disabilities use home appliances correctly and safely. The company will distribute free "Easy Reading Books," which consist of explanations and illustrations tailored to the level of children and adolescents with developmental disabilities, who find conventional product manuals difficult to understand. This initiative is designed to help children and adolescents with developmental disabilities learn the correct way to use home appliances safely in daily life together with their guardians.

The first product in the "Home Appliance School Project" is the refrigerator, which is frequently used directly by children with developmental disabilities. The Easy Reading Book consists of a "storybook" that explains the scientific principles and everyday knowledge related to refrigerators in simple text and illustrations, and a "simple user manual" that contains safe product usage instructions. Additionally, stickers that children and adolescents can enjoy reading and directly apply are provided. Customers who wish to receive the Easy Reading Book can apply through the LG Electronics Customer Center and the Best Shop website.

LG Electronics will also continue product donation activities to improve educational accessibility for students with disabilities. The company donated 30 LG StanbyME devices to the online education program "Honey Rainbow Classroom," operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Research and Information Center for students with health disabilities and those requiring care. Most students in the Honey Rainbow Classroom have mobility difficulties or are bedridden receiving long-term hospital treatment. Furthermore, by the end of this month, LG Electronics will donate 25 LG Gram laptops to university students with disabilities living in rural areas, taking into comprehensive consideration their dreams, goals, and plans for product use.
