Abstract
The purpose of this study is to carry out peer support activities for the student who unwillingly enrolled in the
high school of a special needs school for intellectual disabilities, that number of enrollments has been increasing
in recent years, and clarify the results and issues. The targeted student repeatedly said and acted negatively to the
special needs school from the beginning and had low self-affirmation toward herself enrolled in the school. However, as she continued her peer support activities, her sense of belonging to the group, trust in others, and self-usefulness gradually changed, and she was able to make a career choice that took advantage of her strengths.
Peer support activities are often carried out in regular education at present, but I think these activities should be
actively utilized in the field of special needs education in the future.
