Inclusion Japan is a non-profit and non-governmental organization that advocates equal rights for the people with intellectual disabilities and their families. We are the united organizations of all 47 administrative divisions and 9 government designated cities. Inclusion Japan is a member association of Inclusion International that is a global federation of family-based organizations.

We started our activities in 1952 with only three mothers with children with intellectual disabilities. We became a corporation in 1955 and turned into Welfare Corporation in 1959

2. To influence policy making process
   It is our mission to research and discuss where and how the people with intellectual disabilities live, where they work and who supports them and suggest each level of authority how they are supposed to be supported.
3. To promote advocacy of human rights
   People with intellectual disabilities have the equal human rights to be included in the society. Yet too often it is not easy for them to speak up for themselves. What is needed is solidarity among people with intellectual disabilities, their families and people around them. Solidarity brings quality services and leads to the inclusive society. In pursuit of inclusive society we provide specialist counseling, peer counseling, publicity activities, and other supporting activities.
4. To promote self-advocacy
   We support people with intellectual disabilities to speak for themselves and by themselves.
