Abstract—Children requiring special support are increasing
in Japan. In April 2016, the government of Japan enacted a law
supporting disabled people, which stipulates giving them
reasonable consideration. This law mandates supporting
children with special needs in all Japanese schools. Many
children diagnosed with one or more developmental disabilities,
such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit
disorder (ADD), hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and learning
disability (LD), often struggle in school. Children with
developmental disorders require special support to help them in
many aspects of life, and individual educational support is
crucial. We developed a collaborative system for managing
developmental disorders using ICT that can be utilized by
teachers, parents, and supporters. This study demonstrated and
tested this system (PicotTo). We also evaluated using the system
through a case study.
