小中「８．８％」発達障害の可能性　１学級に３人の割合―支援行き届かず・文科省調査

　文部科学省は１３日、通常学級に在籍する小中学生のうち、８．８％に注意欠陥・多動性障害（ＡＤＨＤ）などの発達障害の可能性があるとする調査結果を発表した。１０年前より２．３ポイント増加し、同省は「３５人学級なら１クラスに３人の割合となる」と指摘。このうち、週に１、２回クラスを離れて個別にコミュニケーション方法などを学ぶ「通級指導」を受けている児童生徒は１割にとどまり、支援が行き届いていない実態が明らかになった。
　今回は初めて公立高校も対象に追加。発達障害の可能性がある生徒の割合は２．２％だった。（2022/12/13-10:58）

Three per class of 35 students in elementary and junior high schools in Japan may have developmental problems such as an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, an education ministry survey showed Tuesday.
   The proportion of regular class students believed to have developmental disabilities came in at 8.8 pct of the total in the survey conducted in January-February, up from 6.5 pct in the previous survey in February-March 2012.
   The figure is the share of students judged as having significant difficulties by the ministry based on reports from teachers on sampled students' learning and behavioral characteristics, not doctors' diagnosis.
   The rise in the proportion of students with developmental disorders came as increased awareness among teachers and parents led to more attention to such difficulties that had been previously overlooked, a ministry advisory panel said.
   For high schools, the share of students with possible developmental disabilities stood at 2.2 pct.
