본 연구는 ｢발달장애인 권리보장 및 지원에 관한 법률｣ 제26조에 따라 교육부장관의 업무로 규정되어 있는 발달장애인 평생교육기관 지정 기준과 절차를 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 문헌자료를 검토 분석하고, 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 실시하였으며, 수차례의 전문가 자문을 받았다. 그 결과 발달장애인 평생교육기관 지정 대상 평생교육기관의 범위와 요건을 제시하였다. 즉, 발달장애인 평생교육기관으로 지정되려면, ｢평생교육법｣ 제2조 제2호의 평생교육기관이어야 하고, 발달장애인 평생교육과정 기준과 교육제공인력, 시설·설비를 갖추어야 한다. 발달장애인 평생교육기관은 교육과정 운영 유형에 따라 전문기관과 통합기관으로 구분하였다. 발달장애인 평생교육기관에서 제공하는 교육과정은 내용에 따라 기본교육과정과 각과교육과정으로 구분하였다. 평생교육제공인력으로는 기관운영자, 교육관리자, 교사, 교육보조인력을 두도록 하였다. 시설·설비는 전문기관과 통합기관으로 구분하여 기준을 정하되, 관리실과 보건위생시설은 기존시설을 공유할 수 있도록 하였다. 아울러 본 연구에서는 발달장애인 평생교육기관 지정 신청 및 교부 절차 등 지정 절차를 제시하였다.
