China's new rehabilitation system to better help disabled children

A new rehabilitation system will be put into operation to help children with disabilities on Oct. 1, said Jia Yong, vice president of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, at a news briefing Friday.

According to a guideline approved by the State Council, the funds for the system will be provided by local governments above the county level, with subsidies from the central government.

The guideline includes children aged six or younger with disabilities of eyesight, hearing, lingual abilities, limbs or intelligence, as well as autism.
