The disability activity support provider institutions in Yeonggwang-gun are the Yeonggwang-gun Branch of the Korea Disabled Persons Association, Seongsim Home Care Senior Welfare Center, and Jeonnam Yeonggwang Regional Self-Support Center.

The main training topics included prevention of fraudulent claims and fostering positive communication between users and their guardians. Attention was also given to precautions and considerations when providing activity support benefits, improper billing practices, abnormal payments that violate payment principles, and qualification cancellation or suspension.

A Yeonggwang-gun official stated, "We are always grateful for the hard work of the activity support workers who do their best to support the social participation and independent living of people with disabilities," and added, "However, despite such efforts, if laws and regulations are unintentionally violated, fines and penalties may be imposed simultaneously," urging caution.
