Message from the Representative
Do you worry about your child's future independence? We walk that path together.
Many parents of children with developmental challenges share the same deep anxiety: "Can my child ever become independent?" or "Will they be able to find a job and live on their own?" We understand that the transition from special needs education to higher education or employment can seem like an impossible barrier. However, a diagnosis does not define a child's limit.
At "Manabi no Iroha," we believe that every child has their own unique way of learning. By understanding their cognitive characteristics and providing the right tools, they can unlock their potential, transfer to regular classes, and advance to high school and beyond. We are here to turn your anxiety into a concrete plan for the future.
Evidence-Based Approach & Policy Perspective
Our methods are not based on intuition alone but are grounded in academic research and broad social perspectives. As a researcher, I have published studies on instructional methods for children with intellectual disabilities, focusing on cognitive characteristics and working memory. We apply these scientific findings directly to our classrooms to maximize learning efficiency.
Furthermore, my background extends beyond education. As an alumnus of The Matsushita Institute of Government and Management and a former Public Secretary for members of the Japanese Diet (Parliament), I have analyzed social systems and youth independence issues from a policy-making perspective. Combining this macro-view of society with micro-level educational support, we provide a robust roadmap for your child's social independence.
