The aim of this study was to collect foundational data on occupational therapists working in developmental rehabilitation service providers by examining their work conditions, employment status, and job satisfaction. The survey was conducted from June 3 to August 2, 2024, and involved 71 occupational therapists from developmental rehabilitation institutions in Jeollanam-do and Gwangju. First, demographic analysis revealed that the majority of participants were women in their 20s with four-year university degrees. In terms of job-related characteristics, most therapists were employed as full-time staff and held certifications as sensory rehabilitation therapists, enabling them to offer sensory rehabilitation services. Regarding the current status of developmental rehabilitation services, therapists typically treated 4 to 6 children per day, with services provided twice a week per individual. Service fees often ranged from 40,000 to 50,000 KRW. Work environment satisfaction was rated at 2.82 out of 4, with factors such as years of experience and monthly income influencing overall satisfaction. The study concludes that the high proportion of non-regular employment among occupational therapists calls for improvements in job security. Additionally, dissatisfaction with service fees suggests a need to revise them in line with professional expertise.
