Adult neurodevelopmental disorders from the viewpoint of a supporter in childhood

Abstract

In this article, the outline of support for developmental disorders in childhood is first described and then the goal of developmental supports is mentioned. Developmental disorders cannot be completed within the support of specialized agencies, so it is necessary to promote regional shift and fostering of self-support ability. Self-support ability means the competence to live with minimal support even if there are uneven developmental characteristics. It is important to accumulate successful experiences in everyday life even with the help of supporters, to deepen self-understanding including developmental characteristics, and to set appropriate environments for their own characteristics.
