Abstract
In Japan, various welfare services are provided for different kinds of disabilities based on the certification system. Even though, recently, it is claimed that the certification system is not sufficient for some of disabled people with higher brain dysfunctions, i.e. disturbances of frontal lobe functions. One of the reasons might be the lack of flexibility of the system applying for people with combined impairments of physical and mental functions. Considering these circumstances, Japanese government started the model project for people with higher brain dysfunctions since 2001. It will last three years and the committee of project is going to write a report in order to promote a policy for such people. In this article, the author introduced the general picture of model project.
