What is developmental disability?

There are various characteristics among individuals, such as difficulty in communication, strong fixations, inability to concentrate, and restlessness. Because these traits are not easily recognizable by appearance alone, it is often difficult to gain understanding in schools and workplaces.

In Inagi City, there is a place where children and adults can consult about developmental issues. Please feel free to contact us, whether you are the individual, a family member, or a supporter.
