Outline of Final Research Achievements

Children with developmental disorders (DD) require support based on their characteristics. These children need special support for both learning and life in regular classes. Moreover, sleep problems are often detected in children with DD, causing emotional and behavioral problems. Therefore, we developed systems for easily understanding their sleep characteristics, supporting regular sleep habits, and improving the quality of sleep.(1) sleep indices developed (2) The sleep support system for assessing emotions, daily behaviors, and the state of sleep was designed.
(3) A method for facilitating the use of the sleep support system was developed using the ICF code, based on daily behavioral characteristics.
