The purpose of this study is to suggest a literacy education activation plan for the disabled by examining the literacy education program operation status of a lifelong education institution for the disabled that provides literacy education programs for adults with disabilities, and by finding a way to activate the literacy education program for the disabled recognized by institution staffs. For this, a survey was conducted on the working-level staff of lifelong education institutions for the disabled. A total of 116 working-level staffs of lifelong education institutions for the disabled participated in this study, consisting of 52 staffs of lifelong education facilities for the general public and disabled and 64 staffs of welfare facilities for the disabled and related associations. The major findings of the survey conducted on them are as follows; First, the most significant number of responses answered that the lifelong education institutions for the disabled operates literacy education programs according to the needs of institution users, and the most important consideration when running literacy education programs was also the needs of users. In addition, the most common response was that the literacy education program planning was also based on the needs of users. However, literacy education programs operated by lifelong education institutions for the disabled were mostly limited to the home sector. Second, for the difficulties to overcome which were recognized by staffs of lifelong education institutions for the disabled, most respondents answered a shortage of professional instructors for literacy education for the disabled.
