Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to make suggestions on supports through health counselling from the perspective of reasonable accommodation. The study revealed that more specific details and examples of reasonable accommodation should be accumulated because faculty members wanted to know about such details of reasonable accommodation that get close to the feeling of children with developmental disabilitie and their guardians.

In addition, Yogo teachers thought that it was also crucial to provide supports in a manner for those schoolchildren around a school child in trouble to be able to understand and properly engage with such child.
