There is tremendous demand for psychiatric care for the mentally disabled, but among Taiwan's 100-some care institutions, only a very few of the larger ones are fortunate enough to have psychiatrists from nearby hospitals come in to conduct regular rounds and long-term evaluations. Most institutions instead have to transport their patients to hospitals for care, resulting in long drives and little control over the quality of care.
智能障礙者對於精神醫療的需求如此高昂，然而國內上百家心智障礙者療育機構中，只有極少數較有規模的機構，能幸運地與鄰近醫療院所的精神科醫師合作，由醫師定期至機構照會、長期追蹤評估，多數機構則仍需自行帶學員赴醫院就診，不僅舟車勞頓，醫療品質也難以確保。
