Site Disclosure

This website was created to help foreign families in Japan better understand the country’s disability services, support systems, and everyday resources. It is intended to make reliable information easier to find, especially during the early stages of navigating a diagnosis or learning how Japan’s disability system works.

The information shared throughout this site is based on firsthand parenting experience, discussions with healthcare and education professionals, independent research, official government and organizational resources, and the experiences generously shared by other families. Many of the topics covered here are difficult to piece together because information is often scattered across different websites, available only in Japanese, or written for professionals rather than families. The goal of this site is to bring that information together in a way that is practical, clear, and accessible.

Every family and every child is different. The experiences, services, and resources described on this website may not be appropriate for everyone and should not be considered a substitute for medical, legal, educational, or other professional advice. Whenever possible, families are encouraged to work with qualified professionals who can provide guidance based on their individual circumstances.

Every effort is made to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date. Disability services, government programs, and community resources can change over time, so content is reviewed and updated regularly. If something appears to be incorrect, out of date, or missing, feedback through the contact form is always appreciated.

This website is independent. No provider, organization, or resource can pay to be included in the directory or featured in an article. Listings and recommendations are included because they are believed to offer genuine value to foreign families navigating disability services in Japan. If affiliate links, sponsorships, or other commercial partnerships are introduced in the future, they will always be clearly identified.

Thank you for visiting. It is hoped that the information shared here makes navigating Japan’s disability system a little easier and helps families find the support they need.
