This center offers advice and guidance on various issues such as health, medical care, living, and training for people with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities, as well as early medical treatment and nursing for children with disabilities.

This center also conducts in-depth assessments of individuals with disabilities from medical and psychological standpoints to identify the level of their respective disabilities, and, based on the results of the assessment, determine the grade of their 身体障がい者手帳 (Shintaishogaisha Techo or Identification Booklet for Person with Physical Disability), determine whether assistive devices currently used are appropriate, and the severity of the intellectual disability.
(If you would like a disability identification booklet issued, please apply at the Welfare Department of the Public Health and Welfare Center in your local ward.)

Furthermore, the center handles application procedures for designation as a medical institute for services and supports for persons with disabilities (that conducts medical treatment for people with disabilities).

This center works closely with the personnel in charge of counseling and assessment at the Rehabilitation Center for People with Disabilities, the Child Guidance Center, and other related facilities to offer specialized training and assistance tailored to the nature and level of individual disabilities, so that persons with disabilities, including children, can independently manage their daily needs and enjoy self-dependent living both at home and in society.
