The two institutions are wiling to cooperate mutually in order to offer professor music-therapeutic education for Special Educational Needs(SEN). Moreover, they will build a therapeutic-education service system to meet the developmental and socio-psychological needs of SEN.

Also, it has been playing a leading role in developing and expanding various therapeutic programs for those who require special needs. On the other hand, Yonsei University's Rehabilitation School is an institution for helping out physically disabled people, and was founded in 1964 by Yonsei University. They have been offering systematic and individual education for the disabled students. Moreover, as Village-Innovation School, the Rehabilitation School has been contributing to the development of future-aimed educational models that may satisfy the needs of students in cooperation with the local community.
This MOU is expected to become a meaningful opportunity for building a great cooperation model that may expand support for the SEN via music therapy within cooperation with the local community.
