Abstract
Characteristics and issues of support system in northern Europe are considered through analysis of material, questionnaire survey results and interview. As a result, three models are showed. The first model is role-sharing in Denmark: schools support students on one side, and municipality’s support for parents of students on the other side. The second model is resource coordination in Norway and Sweden: they coordinate support according to student’s needs. The third model is inclusive education in Finland: they have inclusive support at school. Though characteristics are vary more or less, support system for students by specialists’ responsibility and their networking in northern Europe. This is a future task to suggest a new support system that is practical and beneficent for school-age children in Japan.
