For the youth with dementia who has physical strength and physical functions, activities of daily living are almost possible in the early terms of dementia. Though it is difficult by the appearance for them to be recognized as the disabled, they need supports in outdoor actions. But their families cannot always respond to needs of supports. Therefore, the guide helper service as a public institution is necessary. In the present time, this service is not well known to families needing it, and they are not familiar with using guide helpers. Guide helpers also are faced with many problems. This paper, based on interviewing some guide helpers, aims to find problems with which they are faced in supports for outdoor actions, and examine skills which are necessary to accomplish tasks of the guide helper.
