In recent years, care for handicapped children in day-care centers and kindergartens lias been actively expanded. What is the present situation? We recently conducted a survey of 227 handicapped children enrolled in day-care centers, and their caretakers. We attempted to clarify the condition of these children, the extent of facilities and staff available to enable day care centers to care for handicapped children, and the relationship of the centers to other specialized institutions. On the basis of this information, we are investigating future measures and issues. To summarize the results, broken down by problem, mentally retarted children were most numerous (47%), and autistic children, children with speech impediments, physical handicaps and emotional disturbances were also found. The majority of those surveyed were multiply handicapped. By age, 88% were 4 years and over, and by severity of handicap, 29% were classified as light, 42% as moderate, and the remaining 18% as severe. Therefore, the majority of these children are unable to perform basic functions independently, are restless and required relatively intensive care. The caretakers were enthusiastically confronting their task, but lacked knowledge concerning handicapped children and their care, and desired further training. Also, we found that part-time care programs are necessary in order to better respond to the development of the children. And also, the same age group classes are desirable. Day-care centers are specialized institutions for child care and education. Therefore, presence of handicapped children in need of treatment and special training means that the centers require the cooperation of other specialized institutions. As it is expected in the future that handicapped children attending these centers will come to include younger children and more severely handicapped children, an improvement in the member and quality of caretakers, and the cooperation of elements of the local community, such as families, specialized institutions and administrators will be necessary.
