Development of a Disaster Preparedness Package Increased Self-care of Children with physical disabilities or slight intellectual and physical disabilities

为了开发工具，从关东地区的五所特殊支助学校和一所福利中心收集了数据。开发的工具名为“肢体残疾儿童灾难自理套餐”。该套餐是为有肢体残疾或轻微智力和身体残疾的儿童开发的。这套方案是基于这样一种信念，即学生(学龄前儿童8种)需要获得和/或提高9种自理能力。自理套餐包括四个级别，以承认每个孩子的不同能力。通过分析五所特殊支持学校的干预结果，研究人员发现，儿童在灾难发生时倾向于为自己思考，并能够为自己采取行动。孩子们在灾难中提供自我照顾的能力明显提高。此外，还展示了这一方案的进一步潜力。

For development of a tool date was collected from five special support schools and one welfare center within the Kanto region. The developed tool was called "Disaster Self-care Package for Children with Physical Disabilities. "This package was developed for children with physical disabilities or slight intellectual and physical disabilities in mind. This package is based on the belief there are 9 self-care abilities that students (8 for preschoolers) need to acquire and/or enhance. The Self-care Package comprises four levels, in recognition of each child's varying abilities.

A significant increase in the children's abilities to provide Self-care in a disaster was evident. Additionally, further potential of this package was demonstrated.
