Local government policy trends in the field of special education are heavily influenced by government policy. This paper described that each local government has set policy indicators with specific numerical targets, which are the measurement indicators located in the third basic plan for the promotion of education (Examples of measurement indicators provided in the basic plan include: the rate of development of individual educational support plans and individual teaching plans; the employment rate of upper secondary school graduates of special needs schools; the rate of implementation and participation in teacher training on special needs education; the rate of exchange and joint learning; and the rate of possession of special needs school teacher’s licenses.). The procedure for the study was to collect the education plans published by the local governments of the 47 prefectures and categorize them according to the KJ method for the policy indicators related to the promotion of special education in each local government. Since the introduction of logic models is emphasized in Evidence-based Policy Making efforts, it is necessary to examine and set policy indicators in relation to policy goals that reflect true policy effects. Because the main focus of policy indicators is to set output-oriented policy indicators. In addition, the promotion of enhanced efforts by local governments requires the national basic plan for the promotion of education to exemplify practical metrics and to emphasize research in the policy area of special needs education with the aim of achieving Wise Spending.
