For children with developmental disabilities, getting a haircut is a big challenge, as they develop slower than other children the same age, with some having difficulty sitting still or being overly sensitive to things like noise.
Mika Kuriyama, 44, a social worker in Fukuoka, runs a website in Japanese that offers information on hair salons and barbers where such children can get a haircut without feeling uncomfortable.
Kuriyama came up with the idea of the website after seeing her younger sister raise her three children with developmental disabilities. She hopes the website will lead to a society where the whole community watches over such children and their families, who tend to feel isolated.
