Book Description:

This book examines how the concept of disability is starting to take root in the Japanese school system, and what the implications are for parents, teachers, policy makers, and other stakeholders. Useful not only as a fascinating case study of the intersection of Japanese history, socio-educational policies, family life, and cultural mores, it also offers a useful contrast to the American systems.
