A lot of schools hope to continue as a school for the deaf, and also to be recognized as regional center of the education for children with hearing impairments by executing various functions expected.
It is clarified that early intervention system for infants of two years old or less and the support system for parents are especially enhanced, and that number of the schools which set up resource room for children with hearing impairments registered in elementary and the junior high schools has increased recently. Resource room services are executed not only in the school for the deaf but also in the ordinary schools by itinerant teachers and in the satellite schools. Additionally, many schools begin to examine the support for the hi-school students and students of the higher education. It is a problem for the school for the deaf to construct a coordinated system with a related organization in order to develop as a regional center of the education for children with hearing impairments.
