The Center for Promoting Education for Persons with Developmental Disabilities is engaged in information dissemination broadly through its website, etc. to promote understanding intended for a cohesive society in which all people can understand developmental disabilities and work together.

Portal Site for Special Needs Education Materials (Assistive Educational Materials Portal Site)
In August 2013, a report from the “Committee on Enhancing the Use of Teaching Materials for Children/Students with Disabilities” set up by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) showed “the creation of a database for the purpose of nationwide information exchange relating to items including education materials, assistive devices, instructional methods, and practical application examples in response to the situation and special characteristics of disabilities,” as a role of the national government and other institutions.
In response, NISE has been operating a “Portal Site for Special Needs Education Materials” since March 2015 for the purpose of more widely disseminating practical application examples and related information in the context of utilization of educational materials and assistive devices.
