ABSTRACT

South Korea's preschool inclusive education aims to provide comprehensive early intervention, emphasizing teacher training and family involvement. It offers a normalized, non-isolated teaching environment for special children aged 3 to 6, encouraging them to learn together with typical children, aiming to provide high-quality education and care for special children. The current development status of inclusive education in South Korea provides valuable insights for other countries. This paper explores various aspects of South Korea's preschool inclusive education, intending to provide theoretical support and practical experience for establishing a support system for preschool inclusive education in China.
