PAPAMO, operator of the Heyasupo Assist online developmental support service, has been selected by Yokosuka City for a national model project run by the Children and Families Agency. The project will test ICT-based developmental support for children with disabilities, with PAPAMO providing online exercise therapy from August 2026 to February 2027. The aim is to verify effectiveness and potential nationwide rollout.
The contract runs from June 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027. PAPAMO will conduct online individual exercise therapy sessions involving physical therapists and occupational therapists over seven months, starting August 2026. The support is designed around each child's condition, addressing motor skills, writing, and posture through sensory integration and coordination exercises. The project aims to make online support a sustainable connection between families and professionals, not a one-time intervention.
