Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the exercise training program for young children with developmental disabilities. As a result, we confirmed three excellent exercise instruction programs. These are the following programs: Neurocognitive Rehabilitation (by Vygotsky Institute in Italy) and HRG (early in-water sensory integration) program (by BHRG Foundation in Hungary), Basic Therapy (by ATA Foundation in Hungary). Moreover, we confirmed two significant qualifications. Namely, the qualified Movement Educator (Motopaeden, in Germany) and the qualified Adapted Physical Education Specialist (APES, in the United States). In addition, after researching and analyzing the level of inclusion in New Zealand and Sweden, we should promote more to practical research and build an inclusive society for children with developmental disabilities in Japan.
