Vision Story: What I want a society to be like this ♪
Haruka Hoshino is a 36 years old lady living in an apartment in Tokyo with four family members; 38 years old husband,
8 years old boy, and 3 years old girl.
She is a secretary at a major manufacturer. She has beliefs that she doesn’t want to give up her job because of herchildren, and that she wants to build her own career. As a result of this, her Boss trusts her deeply and other secretary
members respect her.
The relationship with her husband, Ryo, is good, and they divid housework. Ryo actively takes care of children, such as
sending and receiving nursery schools, and prepares for shopping and meals when she has to work overtime, which is theso-called "Ikemen".
But since their boy Hinata was diagnosed as developmental disorder ADHD and Asperger's syndrome, Haruka and Ryo
have been pushed to their jobs at work and childwork for Hinata on a daily basis and have been spent days without a time ofresting.
One day, Ryo was worried that Haruka was exhausted without a restful day and said, “Shall we go for a travel with fourof us?"
Since Haruka’s one of the hobbies in her school days was travel, she has gone for trips not only in Japan,but also in othercountries. She love trips so as to have gone for a trip several times in a year with Ryo until Hinata was born .
However, after he was born, they had turned into a life that was they could not even think about a travel. Her childrearing is a continuum of difficulties that cannot be met with the parenting book. When she made a debut at a park, Hinata
could not cope with others and had a trouble with them, which lead her not to be able to go to the park. At a nursery school,
he could not listen to his teacher and was always scolded. Moreover, at her apartment, he couldn’t sit still and became thepanic when things didn’t go as he thought, so there were complaints from the neighbourhood, so she felt small.
To Ryo who invited Taki to travel, Haruka instantly said, "I can not go on a trip!" to strike her daily stress."
He told him to be under daily stress.
Ryo, then, gave a copy of a trip booklet to her.

“Even a child with developmental disabilities can be reassured! Do you want your child to create a reminder of funtravel?” As soon as the headline was found, Haruka began to read the booklet much more vividly.
First, a guide to the tour. They are “exclusive tours for children with developmental disabilities” so that they do not carefor other clients and do not cause inconvenience. The tour is overseen by developmental disorder organizations and experts.
She first relieved that point. And, taking into consideration the characteristics of developmental disorders like him who are
not good at first for not being able to predict what is unforeseeable, a booklet that shows from the beginning of the trip tothe end with an illustration or a photograph is attached as an appendix.
“Oh my goodness!" This tour states that the airport and the airline are united, gentle to children with developmental
disabilities, guaranteeing security and safety!
Although Haruka suspected his eyes, she continued reading the pamphlet.
The first place at the airport is for children with poor development, and the airport is provided with a map that makes it
easier to understand. For children with developmental disorders who cannot be done alone in the toilet, a toilet with
opposite sex and a toilet with mother and child is installed. The toilet is marked with a symbol “sensitive to developmental
disabilities” and can be used comfortably in its surroundings. There are many “cool down calm down” places which can beused when they are likely to panic in unused places or when they became panic. And at airports where a variety of sounds
are exchanging, they are likely to lend digital earplugs and ear muffs from one country to the next to prevent a hyperacusis
child from becoming panic.
Airlines are likely to offer these rentals. Airlines are also taking a variety of measures to ensure comfort in the airplane.
The airplane seat can preferentially appoint a place where the child can settle down, such as a edge, and can offer reassuring
goods, such as a stress ball!

She wondered if she had the reality that there were such tours for children with developmental disabilities. At the sametime, however, the dream of family travel appeared at this moment, and at this moment, when the hope of traveling washoped, tears were overflowing as though the thoughts she had endured had exploded. “Mama, How do you?” A 3-year-olddaughter wiped her face gently with a tissue. “We might be able to goto travel.” Her daughter Haruru asked her “Travel?”because she has never been for a trip and has no idea what it is. Hinata, who was focusing on a book about trains, noticed
the interaction and was talking to her.
“Am I going to travel!?" Considering Hinata’s character, Haruka has decided not to go out and travel since he was small.
Therefore, he had a strong interest in trains and planes, his books he read were train and plane books. "Hinata! You can goon an airplane and travel!" Haruka hugged Hinata strongly.
Haruka had a big guilt feeling against herself who had restricted going out to Hinata who likes trains and planes justbecause Hinata has developmental disorders. “I can take Hinata, my beloved and irresistible, for my trip.” She kept hugging
Hinata, which he hated, strong, strong, far away. The tearfully brute Ryo who was watching the situation was crying toquietly endure.
Three months later. Everywhere in the Hoshino family are photographs of the trip.
Every time she sees the pictures, she thinks like this.
For ordinary people in the world, it may be just a trip.
But this trip is a great hope for families of children with developmental disabilities,
And it certainly broadened the worlds of Hinata and our families.
It may be just a trip others, but it is much more for them! People in the tours, airports, airlines.
Every time she remembers those who have accomplished her dream of family travel,
feelings of gratitude and happiness were much more plentiful.
