This study aimed to improve the ability of employees of rehabilitation facilities for the disabled to cope with disaster situations by understanding and analyzing their disaster consciousness through questionnaire survey. The questionnaire survey had been conducted for employees of rehabilitation facilities for the disabled in Japan for three months.Among 932 rehabilitation facilities for the disabled, 41.8% answered that the areas where facilities reside are relatively safe from flood damages and 59.8% answered that they are relatively safe from earthquakes or their secondary damages, e.g., fire. This kinds of results may be considered to reflect the insensibility of safety. To protect the disabled who are vulnerable to unexpected disasters, the awareness of disasters of employees needs to be increased, the dangerous areas need to be identified and the efforts to find more effective methods for evacuation need to be made. Therefore, to improve the disaster consciousness of facilities' employees, countermeasures such as regular scheduled training and evacuation guidelines need to be developed. High percentage of facilities answered that they have not promoted the importance of early evacuation of disaster-vulnerable people. Besides, in disaster situation, the network with facilities, organizations in community and community residents is critical.

This study analyzes the association between major characteristics (the quantity and quality) of Community Service Innovation (CSI) and the levels of satisfaction on the service. CSI is designed as voucher type where CSI users are assumed to have a choice among services from different organizations. In order to have a choice in the real meaning, service users can have sufficient and quality information. This study aims to grasp the amount of information service users have and the quality evaluations among them, and to understand the influence of these information factors on the levels of satisfaction for the service by using Multiple Regression Analyses.Research findings show that less than 60% of service users received 6 areas of basic information, and more than 13% of users received less than 3 areas of information.Meanwhile, more than 15% of users were unsatisfied with the quality of information received. It should be emphasized that social service organizations make an effort to provide luculent information to users. Importantly, multiple regression analyses show that the quality of information instead of quantity influences the level of satisfaction for the service. Therefore, it can be said that providing quality information to social service users is an effective way to increase the satisfaction level on service.

近年の研究によって、児童自立支援施設に入所する児童生徒のうち、約40%に発達障害の診断または疑いがあるとされている。特にAD/HD のある児童生徒が注目され、厚生労働省は、施設入所児のうち42.6%に注意欠陥多動傾向が認められると報告している。本研究の質問紙調査でも、施設に勤務する教職員の多くは発達障害のうち特にAD/HD の行動傾向に指導上困難を感じており、またその特性に起因する副次的な問題にも困難を感じていることがわかった。今後の当該施設における学校教育においては、教職員の発達障害に関する高度な専門性が必要であると考える。また、個々の特性に応じた特別な支援計画の作成や特別支援教育コーディネーターの機能についてもさらなる改善が求められるであろう。

In South Korea, a variety of social supports and businesses have been created in order to resolve the digital divide of people with disabilities. The quantitative divide has been reduced through such business and support, but the qualitative digital divide still remains. In order to reduce the qualitative digital divide, various contributing factors that affect the situation were investigated and the data of the "Survey and Digital Divide Index of 2011" were analyzed in this study(National Information Society- Agency).As a result, it was found that "Information Utilization Capacity" and "Information Utilization" tend to be higher among the young, more often male, higher education level, higher income people who had some information technology education and experience using telecommunication services. "Information Utilization Capacity" was contingent on congenital disabilities and "Information Utilization" tended to be higher among persons with experience of special needs education. "Information Utilization Capacity" and "Information Utilization" ability were higher among the physically handicapped than those with brain lesion disorders, visual impairments, hearing or language disorders, whereas "Information Utilization" ability was higher among those with hearing or language disorders than those with brain lesion disorders.

The challenges of rearing a child with developmental disorders are associated with high levels of parental stress, depression, and other negative emotions. Thus, clinicians frequently set one of the intervention goals to be parent adaptation to such challenges, which we call parenting resilience for rearing children with developmental disorders. In this article, we reviewed research on general resilience and mental health in parents of children with developmental disorders and proposed a construct of parenting resilience for this population. In our framework, parenting resilience is defined as the process of positive adaptation to the difficulties of rearing children with developmental disorders and consists of internal (e.g., positive perception, skill, coping style, and efficacy) and external (e.g., social support) factors. We discussed future directions for the application of parenting resilience in parents of children with developmental disorders.

本研究では、これまでの30 年間に日本特殊教育学会発表論文集にて報告された院内学級と前籍校、家庭、医療等との連携に関する文献を収集し、連携機関ごとに分析を行った。入院中は子ども達の生活範囲が限られ、心身の成長に必要な体験が不足してしまいがちである。研究報告では、連携機関ごとに子ども達の心身の成長やQOL 向上のための役割がそれぞれに見られ、院内学級を中心とした連携の必要性が示唆された。特に医療との連携については、地域の学校への病気の理解啓発やターミナル・ケア等、医療側の専門知識が必要とされる場面が多く、各機関とのさらなる連携が期待される。

Visiting education has been conducted for children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) under medical care. Recently, however, with the support of medical care in special education institutions, an increasing number of these children have begun to study at school. Children with SMID who receive education at home, on the other hand, show more serious problems, and a higher level of specialty is required than ever before about visiting education, which is provided in limited conditions of time and space. In addition, in Shikoku, quite a few children with SMID are unable to go to school for geographical reasons.In this study, I conducted a survey to special education teachers in Shikoku about the present conditions of visiting education, together with its significance and problems. The results are: 1) the distance from special education schools and the availability of the relevant medical care services are the factors that influence the choice of visiting education; and 2) teachers have a desire to provide higher quality education in limited conditions of visits. These results suggest that teacher training is urgently needed to cope with problems specifically related to visiting education.
