AboutAbout the lab
Supporting the development of children and their families
The lab takes a clinical psychology approach to examining ways of supporting the communication development of children with difficulties in interpersonal relationships, such as autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Mainly through group approaches, the lab supports friendship formation and psychological well-being in children with developmental disabilities, and also supports their families, especially siblings of children with disabilities.
The rehabilitation techniques for children and adults with disabilities based on Clinical Dohsa-hou, developed mainly at the lab, are used not only in Japan but also in other Asian countries.
The lab also works on developmental support and support for childcare workers at children's homes, nurseries, and after-school childcare centers.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab examines communication problems in practice from an interactionist perspective, treating them as problems of the side that intervenes, such as therapists and parents. At the Center for Clinical Psychology and Community Services, the lab runs a developmental support group called the "Mokumoku Group," where students take part as therapists and continue to support the development of children with disabilities.
Supporting Children with Developmental Disabilities and Their Families
The lab examines how those providing developmental support should approach children, and continuously supports the development of children with disabilities through developmental support groups. As family support, it is also developing psychological development support programs for siblings of children with developmental disabilities.
Rehabilitation for Children with Motor Disabilities
The lab is involved in the rehabilitation of children with motor disabilities, mainly cerebral palsy, and examines motor learning support from two sides: hands-on techniques and verbal and nonverbal communication strategies. It also experimentally investigates the role of mimetic words and onomatopoeia.
Mental Health of Young Carers
The lab studies the family and social structures that support the mental health of young carers, and how special support should be provided.
