What is the general practice as far as the
education of disabled children in Japan?

Do children with mental or physical disabilities
attend any regular classes, or are they sent to
special schools?

What about children with prostheses?
Are children with missing limbs allowed in
regular classrooms?

Thanks.

Hmm in my elementary school in Japan, there was special ed class for a couple of kids with disabilities, most have mental disabilities. They had their own teachers and curriculum. There are a few from every grade but they were put into the same classroom. I forgot what it was called. There aren't kids with missing limbs. Just some physical disability or mental disability. I think it's like this in most elementary schools and then in middle school, they go to their own special school I think.

When I took a transfer course at Waseda University, there was a deaf student who had someone write down all the lecture notes for him. Other than that, I know that people with severe disabilities do go to special ed schools.

I also think that most kids with disabilities go to a special ed school, are home schooled or just stay home. I don't think that many regular schools in Japan have the facilities to allow kids with disabilities to go to their schools. Though some private schools may be different.
