Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we developed a tool to help university students with developmental disabilities better understand themselves and to tell others about themselves when necessary.The needs survey on self-understanding revealed the need to "understand" oneself and the difficulty in "telling" oneself.Also, from the results of the tool monitor survey, 65.5% answered that they helped to better understand themselves.It was suggested that the tools developed in this research could help university students with developmental disabilities understand themselves.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の研究成果の社会的意義は主に２点挙げられる。（１）合理的配慮という観点から発達障害のある大学生等の「自身について理解すること」と「第三者に説明すること」についてニーズを考察した点、（２）不得意や弱みだけではなく強みにも着目し、当事者中心の多分野連携における情報共有ツールとしての開発を行い考察した点、である。
