Children who "can't sit still," have difficulty with changes in routines, or have strong stranger anxiety are occasionally diagnosed with developmental disorders. It is a difficulty for both children and their families, but the early identification and appropriate treatment can provide children with a wider range of opportunities in the future, and give support for the families.
This symposium introduces the latest results from the R&D projects on developmental disorders that have been supported by Research Institute of Science and Technology for Society (RISTEX)* at Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). We will also hold a panel discussion with experts from different sectors to deepen the understanding of developmental disorders and its early identification, treatment, and family support.
* RISTEX promotes research and development that aims to contribute to solve the social problems, with the philosophy of "science in society and science for society."
