発達障害の本人調査からみた当事者が求める学齢期の不適応への対応・支援

抄録

In the present study, people with developmental disabilities (LD, ADHD, Asperger syndrome, high functional autism, intellectual disabilities, and so on; N=79) completed a questionnaire. The aim was to clarify the response and support for problems that they had had in adjusting to school life, human relations, and daily life while they were in school. This had been specifically requested by the respondents. On the basis of an analysis of notes written by people with developmental disabilities and parties in charge, as well as published research, a checklist was developed to measure understanding and support for difficulties and problems in adjustment to school life, human relations, and daily life in the school. Many of the free comments indicated that the support required by the respondents was diverse, and that careful consideration was necessary in relation to individuals' difficulties and needs. To support people who are in charge of those with developmental disabilities, many of the respondents requested a way to relate to them. Heeding comments of the respondents provides clues to the support that they need.
