The Korean Society for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities (KSRPD) in 2008 launched the third of its five-year plans for "Welfare Development for Persons with Disabilities." The third plan, which will run through to 2012, is focused on:
| 1. | legislating pensions for persons with disabilities at the earliest date possible |
| 2. | setting up medical security and disability prevention systems |
| 3. | assuring effectiveness of the right to security and implementation of the Prohibition of Disability Discrimination Act |
| 4. | placing special education teachers and assistants in every school |
| 5. | taking full responsibility for caring for children with disabilities |
| 6. | applying strict penalties on government agencies and companies that are not in compliance with employing persons with disabilities |
| 7. | developing welfare services oriented to the consumer (persons with disabilities) |
| 8. | establishing a hotline system for persons with disabilities |
| 9. | constructing barrier-free cities, and |
| 10. | ensuring the maternity rights of women with disabilities. |
