Jeonju City and the Jeonju Childcare Comprehensive Support Center (Director Son Gyeong-hwa) announced on the 28th that they will expand the 'Early Detection of Developmental Delays in Children Project' from this year to all income levels without income criteria.

The target households are those with children aged 12 months to pre-school age, and the city plans to provide a total of 1,200 developmental assessments and therapy services for about 100 households free of charge this year. The main support contents include language and communication, attention and emotion regulation, media overuse, and attachment issues with parents.

The assessment will first conduct online developmental assessments (K-CDI) and parental stress assessments (K-PSI), followed by specialized counseling on parenting environment and child therapy. Subsequently, tailored therapies in areas such as language, sensory integration, cognition, and psychology will be provided based on the results.

Applications can be made from April to November on the 1st of each month through the Jeonju Childcare Comprehensive Support Center's website (http://jeonjuscc.or.kr), with 20 households selected on a first-come, first-served basis each month.

In addition, Jeonju City plans to operate programs that improve parenting environments and understanding of development through parent education. For more information, inquiries can be made to the center (063-905-6509, extension 5).
