Abstract

In order to develop a system for helping persons with developmental disorders in Mihara City, we held a meeting and did a survey on the awareness of the children’s environment and understanding of developmental disorders by community supporters: volunteers committed to social support and child welfare in Mihara City. The results showed that more than half of the respondents are concerned about the children’s present environment. Most of them understood the general concept of welfare policy for persons with developmental disabilities, such as intellectual or motor disabilities, but few of them knew the newly established law and concepts for pervasive developmental disorders and hyperactivity syndrome. The authors intend to thoroughly educate the community about the management of developmental disorders and establish a support system for not only children with developmental disorders but also all children and parents in the community.
