In Japan, the number of students with developmental disorders has been increasing every year since 2007, so developmental disorders are now prevalent in Japanese classrooms. In this paper, the definitions of "developmental disorders" are summarized for each of seven countries. Results showed that among the seven, only Japan and South Korea have established definitions for developmental disorders. Educational inclusivity for children with disabilities is currently increasing around the world. The United Kingdom, one of the most advanced countries in terms of educational inclusion, provides education "to enable people to take into account not only disability but also all other factors." As a way to make this possible in Japan, new initiatives are being developed. One such initiative is the concept of "IN-Child" and "IN-Child Record" proposed by Han, Ota, and Kwon (2016). Research that enables educational evaluation and continuous support tailored to individual needs. This research will enable Japan to achieve inclusion without lagging behind the world. We hope that this will halt the "developmental disorders bubble" in Japan.
