The purposes of the study are to investigate the current status of delivery system
for inclusive child care․education for young children with special needs and to find

materials were reviewed and focus group interviews with supervisors, team leaders of
special education support center were administered.
Based on the findings of the study, some problems and political suggestions for
operating delivery system were made; First, a diagnosis and placement of young
children with special needs should be made systematically under supervision of nation.
Second, educational and therapeutic support have to be well provided qualitatively.
Third, in order to operate and provide high quality program, there should be an effort
to improve staff professionalism in the special education support center. Fourth, a
systematic supervision of children with special needs should be conducted via
computerized networking.
In conclusion, free and compulsive education system for young children with special
needs should be stabilized and vitalized and support plan has to be arranged for even
young children with special need not yet to get care and education. And ultimately all
young children with special needs should have equal qualitative care and education
services regardless of their residential areas and strive to full inclusion for them.
