The world continues to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is concern over the increase in the needs of older people for nursing care. In this study, the relationships of the “tooth condition” with mobility and cognitive function were investigated in 1,000 residents of 14 special elderly nursing homes. In those using well-fitting dentures, the percentage of those capable of independent indoor mobility was highest at 21.6%, and the percentages of those able to communicate (66.2%), understand routines (47.5%), state their own age (36.2%), remember recent events (45.0%), state their own name (85.7%), understand seasons (43.7%)

This study aims to identify the prevalence of selective mutism (SM) in high school students and the level of support provided to them. We sent a questionnaire by post to 52 high schools in Akita Prefecture, Japan. The questionnaire asked if they had students who showed symptoms of SM, and, if so, to describe the type of support provided at the school for these students. Thirty-nine schools responded, reporting that 0.11% of their students showed symptoms of SM. Additionally, the schools reported they were providing student support focused on speech difficulties. The results found that the prevalence of students with SM symptoms in high school was similar to that in elementary and middle schools. Moreover, the results identified the need not only for support focused on speech but also the need to adapt the students’ environment to help alleviate their anxieties

The purpose of this study is to present the task of the employment policy for individuals with disabilities through the analysis of the current situation of employment policy for people with disabilities and the application cases of local governments in Korea. The Ministry of Health and Welfare, as well as the Ministry of Employment and Labor, have collaborated to design an employment policy for person with disabilities. Recently, several central administrative departments including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism have implemented employment policies for people with disabilities directly or indirectly. Based on the results of this study, the policy directions for persons with disabilities were presented to invigorate employment and economic activity.
