This review describes the latest effort and agenda in the practice study of the Special Needs Education mainly in the recent school fields. It is important to assess and grasp the characteristics of the developmental disability in order to understand such children. Studies on the executive functioning enjoy particularly huge popularity. In consultation support activities, there are many reports of counseling on ‘Developmental Disability,’ ‘School Refusal,’ and ‘Students’ seeking advice.’ Approaches to the self-understanding of individuals with developmental disability attracts particularly huge attention. Consultation on and cooperation with parents and teachers are effective at school.
