We conducted a cross-sectional secondary analysis using data from the 2020 National Survey of the Disabled, including 338 children under 18 years of age. Rehabilitation needs, weekly therapy duration, and OOP costs were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression, with duration- and cost-related analyses restricted to the subsample of 250 children currently receiving therapy. Rehabilitation needs were significantly associated with brain lesions, speech disabilities, and receipt of housing benefits. Younger age, greater disability severity, higher household income, and stronger family support were related to longer weekly therapy duration. Average monthly OOP expenditures were 186 640 KRW, with higher costs linked to increased utilization, higher income, better home accessibility, and greater perceived discrimination, while lower satisfaction with welfare projects was associated with higher costs. Logistic regression identified brain lesions (OR 7.63), speech disabilities (OR 2.44), and housing benefit receipt (OR 3.28) as strong predictors of rehabilitation needs.

Despite the existence of robust legal instruments, a persistent gap remains between legal norms and their effective implementation, resulting in ongoing harm to children. The article highlights how international law not only prohibits acts such as killing, maiming, and attacks on schools and hospitals but also mandates obligations for recovery, reintegration, and access to health and education—implicitly addressing the psycho-physical harm children endure. Arguing that legal understanding must extend beyond legal professionals to include healthcare providers, the article calls for interdisciplinary collaboration to protect children more effectively.
