We developed an adaptation scale for university students with developmental disorders. 1) Subjects comprised 62 university students with developmental disorders (including tendency) who consulted the health support room at University A from April, 2010 to April, 2015. We obtained data regarding issues and situations reported by the students themselves. 2) We obtained data regarding issues reported by university staff. 3) We retrospectively examined behavioral problems and psychiatric symptoms. On the basis these data, we made the adaptation scale.
The tool which evaluates the annoyance in the campus life, psychiatric symptoms, coping behavior, and social support is useful for 1) integrated evaluation, 2) common understanding of the supporters, 3) visualization of difficult concepts, and 4) grasping of the change.
