    This study developed active learning teacher training programs on supporting parents of children with developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder who exhibit behavior problems. Training in communication skills with parents, training in prevention of behavior problems to encourage parents to teach appropriate behavior to child at home, and training in decreasing behavior problems at home, where teachers develop behavior support plans with parents and evaluate parents' practices together, were conducted and found to be effective. In addition to child outcomes, the data suggested that parent-teacher relationships and parental mental health improved, and parental anxiety decreased. In order to apply the programs widely in school settings, it is necessary to present a concrete system model of parental involvement.

    (1) We reviewed “guidance and counseling”, “sex education” and “assessment and intervention in sexual behavioral problems” for students with mild intellectual disability and developmental disorders at special high school for intellectual disability and got those findings. (2) We conducted the interview survey on sex education for teachers in charge and collected consultation support cases regarding sexual behavioral problems and school refusal for school counselors at special high school for Intellectual disabilities. (3) We conducted PBS-based class-wide intervention to prevent school refusal at special high school for intellectual disabilities and showed the effect of the data. Based on the above, we were able to create “the hierarchical intervention (draft) for school refusal in the special high school for intellectual disabilities”.

    The purpose of this study is to propose an adaptive behavior acquisition program using self-monitoring in the practice of school education, based on consideration of conditions for self-monitoring and self-evaluation of their own behavior by children with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities. As a result, it was found that the following conditions are necessary to acquire adaptive behavior through self-monitoring and self-evaluation. (1) Clear goals, (2) Providing appropriate methods for achieving the goals, (3) Opportunities for evaluation in light of action goals and methods, and (4) Opportunities for making corrections for appropriate evaluation Also, video feedback is an effective method for self-monitoring and self-evaluating one's own behavior, but it is necessary to have the target child obtain the target behavior and its evaluation criteria in advance.

    This study was developed parent support programs to proactively improve behavior problems for children with autism spectrum disorders. The programs integrated the support to enhance parents' capacity to promote their children's development and the support to manage their own emotions, cognition, and behavior. Results indicated five support approaches according to sense of coherence in parents and child’s behavior problems. (1) parent involvement to develop interventions in a school, (2) parent-implemented intervention to teach skills to a child, (3) parent-implemented functional assessment-based intervention to reduce child's behavior problems, (4) mental health support for parents reported high levels of stress, (5) the support integrated parent-implemented functional assessment-based intervention and mental health support for parents reported high levels of stress. The effect of each approach on both parents and children was shown in elementary schools and special schools.

    The purpose of this study was to devise a college student dispatch system to meet the needs of local schools by identifying their needs for college student volunteers at local schools and the issues faced by these college student volunteers.As a result, we found that education fields wanted college student volunteers to not only support learning activities in regular classrooms but also to handle children with special educational needs. Meanwhile, it became clear that college student volunteers were not exactly sure of how to become involved, although they were aware of the presence of children with special educational needs.A school volunteer handbook, to be used as a guide when volunteering in an education field, was therefore developed. By examining the effectiveness of this handbook, we considered key points for a college student dispatch system that can eliminate the worries and issues experienced by college students when dispatching at a school to volunteer, and that can also help improve their knowledge and skills related to issues of how to become involved with children.

    In this research, it has been aiming to improve life in the region by using the supporting tool for developmental handicapped person that has the trouble and the behavior problem of the social relationship. (1) Examination of the application and the evaluation method of the supporting tool according to person in one's needs and life environment. We examined the assessment and the use of child's basic skill, relation between support target set to child and made the supporting tool. And we examined subjective evaluation of parents to the support results. For the goal setting, it was shown to be able to set the support target with a high practical use degree by using the work-sheets. For the evaluation of the ability that can be used for the support of the child, there was no evaluation from such a viewpoint so far, and it stayed in the arrangement of the items. After this, we want to select the items carefully, and to make of the evaluation a standard. (2) Practical use of training program and construction related to cooperation for spreading the supporting tool system. We did the seminar in the supporting tool intended for parents, and training activities intended for the teachers of the special support school. The training material was developed, and the supporting tool collection was made continuously. As a result, for parents, to leave support to their child by the supporting tool, and to develop it, the group work and the presentation of the supporting tools greatly influenced. For the teachers, to achieve an individual educational plan, the replication or the improvement of the supporting tool that was used till then or the colleague using were adopted. The note in the particular execution was included and the practical use of the training program was advanced. Web site (http://speedu.edu.u-toyama.ac.jp/supporttool/index.html) to learn the supporting tool was constructed, and the operation began. We have enhanced the contents.

    In this study, we intend for development handicapped children having society-associated handicap and behavior problem. (1)We examined a method to develop support tools depending on each person's needs and to carry out support to promote a shift to local life. "The actual situation grasp questionnaire" and "the aim setting worksheet" were made to evaluate an individual recognition development level and to assess the environmental living condition. "A support tool making idea sheet" and "a support tool suggestion seat" were made to make support tools and carry them out, compile a result. We can perform the preferable support that accepted handicapped children with support tools by using these seats. (2)We developed and carried out the support system which could provide support continuously, and examined a method to perform continuous evaluation. From a case report, support by a person, support tools and it's product were important to perform a shift smoothly. But they were influenced by a value standard and judgment call of supporters and parents. There was difference in adaptation of individual handicapped children for a trifling environmental change. We remained in to some extent clarifying a condition to succeed. (3)We examined the training system to intend the spread and fixation of a support tool system. "A support tool classroom" "support book classroom" "personal supporter school" for supporters and parents were tried and studied the training program to learn and perform support tools effectively. The training program consisted of it by a discussion between supporters and parents, making experience of a support tool, making and use of a support tool for their own child, experience announcement. We will make a training program package and build the backup system which utilized Internet in future. We get cooperation from a meeting of parents and support center and are going to offer service continuously.

    昨年度に実施した研究Iにおける今後の課題は、1.「ルール」制御を成立させるための指導技法についてさらに検討する必要性があること、2.日常場面における般化の成立のための条件の検討、の2点であった。今年度に実施した研究IIでは、その研究課題を検討した。本研究では、自閉症児に対して問題状況を解決するための技能を「ルール制御」によって指導し、その獲得と般化について検討することを目的とした。本研究の特色は、生態学的調査によって標的行動を選定すること、および指導技法として「ルール制御」をより効果的なものにするためにモデル・ビデオを使用したこと、であった。指導では、「○○(場所名)に行って、□□(物品名)をとってきてください」といった言語指示を与え、事前の調査より明らかにした「未知刺激」と「既知刺激」の4つの組み合わせ(即ち、(a)「既知」+「既知」,(b)「既知」+「未知」,(c)「未知」+「既知」,(d)「未知」+「未知」)を課題の条件とした。「ルール制御」が確立する可能性を高めるために、(1)図式化した「約束(ルール)カード」の提示および説明、(2)モデル・ビデオ視聴による「ルール」の確認、(3)行動リハーサルを実施した。問題解決技能として、標的行動は「教示要求行動(1)(指示提示直後)」「教示要求行動(2)(指示遂行途中)」「(指示者に対する)報告行動」の3タイプとした。指導の結果、標的行動を使用した問題状況への対処が可能となり、特に、「教示要求行動(1)」の使用が多かった。また、学校場面における般化エピソードでは、実際に標的行動が生起したことが示された。考察では、「ルール制御」による指導法の有効性とその問題点について考察された。研究I(平成14年度)および研究II(平成15年度)により、高機能自閉症児における「ルール制御」による社会的行動支援の有効性について示すことができたと考えられる。

    The objective of this study investigate a time-series analysis of human-face recognition processes in autistic persons from the viewpoint of psychophysiology. In this study we measured face-specific event-related potentials (face-related potentials), which have been studied extensively in recent years. In 2000, we investigate a fundamental study on healthy persons in order to explore the optimal conditions for measuring potentials in autistic persons. Using the conditions arrived at through the fundamental study, we measured face-related potentials from children (4 years old) to adults. It was found that (1) the N170, which is a face-related potential, is seen in 4 year-old children, and that its latent period shortens and its amplitude increases with age, and (2) the N270, which is related to the recognition of known faces, is immature in pre-school children. In 2001 and 2002, we measured face-related potentials in autistic persons and analyzed the results on the basis of the previously obtained results mentioned above. It was found that, although the N170 did increase in autistic persons, they tended not to be able to clearly distinguish human faces from non-face stimuli. In addition, analysis of the amplitudes of T5 and T6 suggested that specialization of the visual cortices in the left and right hemispheres of the brain in autistic persons might not have progressed sufficiently. Analysis of the N270 suggested that autistic persons have some types of processing difficulties during the activation processes of the face recognition unit. On the basis of these results, we gave preliminary consideration to methods for overcoming the difficulties of interpersonal communication in autistic persons.
