株式会社バンブーワァオが、こども発達研究所のまきたともこ先生と共同で開発している、ダウン症・自閉症を中心とした知的障害児のための療育プログラムです。

バンブーワァオは、東京都内と埼玉県内でダウン症児を中心とした児童発達支援と放課後等デイサービス事業を展開しております。

知的障害児は早期の段階で、視覚・聴覚・触覚など５感覚の発達に問題を抱え、身体感覚や運動機能にも大きな課題を抱えている場合が多くあります。

おもちゃを与えた時に、自発的に手を出して取ろうとしなかったり、上手く扱えなかったりすることが多よく見られます。

これは視覚や触覚などの感覚の育ちのつまずきが原因になっていると考えられます。

それでは自発的に興味をもって遊び、発達してゆくステップ自体が生じないことになり、成長段階での問題がより大きくなることがあります。

「ちのとれ」は、この発達の土台となる力の発達を促すべく、早期に積極介入し障害児の認知機能発達に働きかける知育プログラムです。

Chinotore is an educational and developmental support program designed for children with intellectual disabilities, particularly those with Down syndrome and autism.
It is jointly developed by Bamboo Wow Co., Ltd. and Ms. Tomoko Makita of the Child Development Research Institute.

Bamboo Wow operates early childhood development support services and after-school day services, mainly for children with Down syndrome, in Tokyo and Saitama.

Children with intellectual disabilities often face challenges in the early stages of development, particularly in the growth of the five senses—such as vision, hearing, and touch—as well as in body awareness and motor functions.

For example, when given a toy, they may not reach out for it spontaneously or may have difficulty using it appropriately.
These difficulties are often related to delays or challenges in sensory development, especially in visual and tactile processing.

As a result, the natural developmental process—where a child becomes interested, engages independently, and learns through play—may not occur as expected.
This can lead to increasing challenges as the child grows.

Chinotore is a structured developmental program that focuses on building these foundational abilities.
Through early and active intervention, it supports the development of cognitive functions in children with disabilities.
