This novel has no male lead, but plenty of male supporting characters, whose main job is to move the plot along. They're what you might call “useful tools.” The child rehabilitation training methods in this novel are adapted from real life and may serve as a useful reference. However, the author is not a professional, so their accuracy is not guaranteed. They're intended only to offer a little comfort to those still trying to find the right approach.
