Developmental disorders (DDs) are characterized by deficits in the development of brain
functions and are congenital in many cases. There are different types of DDs as shown below.
Even people with the same disorder show different manifestations. It is also possible to have morethan one type of DD.

May also have adelay in intellectual
development

Pervasive developmental disorder(Autistic spectrum disorder; ASD)
AutismAttention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD)● Unable to focus● Unable to stay still● Impulsive behaviors

Asperger’s
syndrome● Language delay(Not observed in Asperger’s syndrome)

Learning disorder (LD)(Specific learning disorder; SLD)● Communication difficulty● Problems in social interaction● Ritualized/stereotypical behaviors, limited
interests, obsessiveness● Hyper- or hypo-sensitivity, physical clumsiness● Prominent difficulty in either
reading, writing, or calculating

Note: Other DDs include Tourette syndrome, stuttering,and developmental coordination disorder

Definition of developmental disorders in the Act on Support for Persons with Developmental
Disabilities:“Developmental disorders include deficits in brain functions, such as autism, Asperger’s syndrome,and other pervasive developmental disorders, learning disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, onset of which is at an early age”. The persons with DDs are those “who are subject tolimitations due to DDs and social barriers in their daily or social lives”.
Note: Another way to define DDs is the disorders numbered as F80-98 in ICD-10.

11

The Act on Support for Persons with
Developmental Disabilities
The Act on Support for Persons with Developmental Disabilities is a Japanese
law established for the purpose of providing support to children with DDs(regardless of their age) and their families.
The act aims to achieve a society where children with DDs can realize theirpotential and families can raise them with a sense of security.

Support Centers for Persons with
Developmental Disabilities/Disorders
There are various organizations that offer consultation services for people with
DDs and their families in Japan. Every prefecture and ordinance-designated city
has a Support Center for Persons with Developmental Disabilities/Disorders,which plays a central role in providing information and support.
Please refer to the following website for information on the support centers
across the country:
Information and Support Center
for Persons with Developmental Disorders
http://www.rehab.go.jp/ddis/[Support Center for Persons with DDs in your region]
Name:
Contact:

12Seeing a doctor
In Japan, diagnosis of DDs is made by a specialist such as pediatrician orchild psychiatrist. If you wish to see a doctor, it is a good idea to: Ask your local public health nurses or the Support Center for Persons
with DDs, where you can find DDs specialists. (Please note that many
hospitals require an appointment.)
 Bring your child’s health insurance card and the Maternal and Child
Health Handbook with you on the first doctor's visit.
 Write down your concerns and how your child is at home and/or
preschool to share with the doctor.

Assessment and therapy
The doctor may want your child to take assessments and/or get individual
therapies by specialized staff. The decision will be based on your child’s needs
and conditions.
Assessments include intelligence/developmental tests, an auditory test, andelectroencephalography. Individual therapies include physical therapy,
occupational therapy, speech-language-hearing therapy, and psychotherapy.

If your child is diagnosed with a DD…
It can be very worrying to find out that your child has a DD. However, his/herdevelopmental outcome can be positively affected by adjusting the environments
and your interactions with him/her. Please discuss and find out what will work foryour child with the doctor and specialized staff.
13

Using medication
The doctor may suggest your child take medication to help him/her be more
comfortable. Discuss the effects and side effects of the suggested medication.
Medication does not cure DDs, but it can ease some of the symptoms
commonly found in children with DDs.
[Frequently used medications]Central nervous system stimulants: Help reduce hyperactivity, inattentiveness, andimpulsiveness of ADHD

Anti-anxiety medications: Ease anxiety and other uneasy feelings

Antipsychotic medications: Ease severe agitations and delusions

Antiepileptic medications: Help control epileptic seizuresSleeping pills: Establishing healthy sleep habits

Medication can help your child live their life more comfortably by alleviating
symptoms. Please make sure to follow the instructed frequency and dosage.

☆ Please do not hesitate to ask the doctor or specialized staff questions
if you are unsure about their explanations.
☆ You can also ask for advice from public health nurses and preschoolor kindergarten teachers. Regularly share and discuss how your childis doing so that you can monitor your child together with them.
