Seocho-gu to Deploy 'Learning Assistants' for Children with Disabilities at 21 Kindergartens and Elementary to High Schools

‘Support Project for Learning Assistants for Children with Disabilities’ Launched Since 2006

Seocho-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) announced on the 8th that it will continue to operate the "Learning Assistant Support Project for Children with Disabilities" this year to ensure the learning rights of children with disabilities attending general schools with special classes and to support their smooth school life.

Children with disabilities attending general schools have the right to interact and communicate with their peers and receive education tailored to their individual educational needs, but they often face difficulties due to the school learning environment. Considering these challenges, Seocho-gu has been promoting the "Learning Assistant Support Project for Children with Disabilities" since 2006. This year, a total of 24 learning assistants will be assigned to 21 kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools in the district.

Learning assistants support basic daily activities such as guiding meals and assisting with putting on and taking off assistive devices, as well as preparing materials needed for learning and helping with mobility. They also manage the behavior of students with disabilities, communicate to help them gradually adapt to school, and assist them in living healthily and safely.
