Publication of materials from three universities on support for students with disabilities

In response to the implementation of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities 2016, universities have urgently needed to establish support coordinators and improve their software and services. However, universities that have little experience in accepting students with disabilities have no choice but to build a system in the dark when developing a support system, and it takes a lot of time to smoothly manage and implement support for students with disabilities.
In order to solve these issues, we will publish the materials of the three universities (Kyoto University, Kyoto Sangyo University, and Doshisha University) provided in the Foundation’s designated research project (see below) conducted in FY2016.
The tacit knowledge accumulated by the coordinators is “visualized” by sharing information on materials, and is open to the public in the hope of improving the skills of support staff and raising the quality of support for students with disabilities at each university.
We would appreciate it if you could improve it according to the support environment and policies of each university.

theme	Establishment of a database of accessibility and reasonable accommodations for the elimination of discrimination against persons with disabilities at universities Toward the Establishment of a Collaborative Organization for the Office of Support for Students with Disabilities
Principal Investigator	Satoshi Yoshida (Associate Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University)
Background and Objectives of the Research	In response to the enforcement of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in 2016, there is an urgent need for universities to establish a support coordinator for students with disabilities, to understand and improve the physical environment on campus, and to improve the software and service environment that supports education and research. In addition, there are many different forms of support such as reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, and the individual knowledge and know-how of the staff in charge of responding to them are not shared, and depending on the employment status of the staff, they remain buried and are not shared both inside and outside the university. In connection with this, we will significantly increase the level of progress in efforts to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities at universities in the wake of the enactment of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination on the Grounds of Disability in FY2016 by building a database that covers the knowledge of efforts at each university, and to bring it to the same level as or exceed that of developed UD countries, and to create new initiatives for the elimination of discrimination against persons with disabilities. The purpose of this course is to present the possibility of a project led by the University Consortium Kyoto. In particular, the purpose of this study is to “visualize” the tacit knowledge and skills of the faculty and staff in charge, such as the know-how for constructive dialogue and consensus-building with relevant faculty members, as well as methods for raising awareness and disseminating information, which the support coordinators for students with disabilities at each university have accumulated in their practice, and to present guidelines that can be shared with university staff who have not yet established a sufficient support organization for students with disabilities on campus.

【Report】The 18th Kansai Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held

The 18th Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held.

On February 16, the Kansai Student Support Roundtable (KSSK) was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto, with the aim of providing a forum for people in charge of supporting students with disabilities at universities and junior colleges in the Kansai region to exchange opinions and interact with each other.
　
This is the 18th time.Trends in Support for Students with Disabilities“Jun Murata, Assistant Professor (Chief Coordinator of the Support Room for Students with Disabilities) at Kyoto University, who is also a member of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Study Group on Study Group on Study Support for Students with Disabilities,We talked about changes in the situation surrounding support for students with disabilities in higher education institutions and nationwide trends.

In subsequent breakout sessions,　, “Support Practice (Introductory and Advanced)”Support for students with developmental and mental disabilities (careers, external collaboration)The participants were divided into five groups under three themes, “Support System (Legal, Reasonable Accommodation),” and exchanged opinions on how to support students with disabilities, based on various issues and case studies faced by each university.

This year’s KSSK was attended by 61 faculty members, staff, counselors, nurses, and others from universities and junior colleges of different sizes and support systems. Participants’ comments include: “I was able to understand the points of the second summary (draft) of the study group on study support for students with disabilities and understand future trends,” “I felt that it was necessary to develop a disability support system and support program in advance,” “I was able to learn about the situation of other universities in detail at the subcommittee, which was helpful in setting up a support system for my own university. Even though the universities are different, they have a lot in common, and it was very helpful to hear their lively opinions.”

The feature of KSSK is that it is possible to have frank and frank discussions from the perspective of a practitioner, regardless of the size of the university or the presence or absence of a support system, regardless of the position or level of experience, and to form a network of universities and staff. The articles of this subcommittee will be introduced on the KSSK website (https://www.consortium.or.jp/project/dss/kssk) at a later date.
　
The next 19th meeting is scheduled to be held around September 2017. Once the details of the event have been decided, we will announce it on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto.

Report: The 17th Kansai Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK)

The 17th Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable Meeting

On September 15, the Kansai Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto, with the aim of providing a forum for people in charge of supporting students with disabilities at universities in the Kansai region to exchange opinions and interact with each other.
　
In this 17th session, under the theme of “Osaka University’s Support System and Support Practices: Current Situation and Challenges,” Project Associate Professor Naoto Mochizuki and Lecturer Satoko Nakano of the Osaka University Campus Life Support Center provided topics on their efforts and challenges. In the subcommittee that followed, the participants were divided into five groups under the three themes of “Support System,” “Introduction to Support Practice,” and “Support Practice,” and exchanged opinions on how to support students with disabilities based on various issues and case studies faced by each university.　

Perhaps due to the influence of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities that came into effect in April 28, 70 people, which exceeded the capacity of 65 people, wanted to participate, indicating a high level of interest in KSSK. In the participant questionnaire, there were comments such as, “The story of Osaka University was very interesting because it showed various realities,” “I found clues to improve the problems of my university’s system,” “I was able to listen more thoroughly to other universities because I had plenty of time for the subcommittee,” and “Supporting students with disabilities is a difficult issue with no answers, but it was good to know that everyone has the same problems.” It was also an opportunity for the participants to gain various insights.

　The feature of KSSK is that it is possible to have frank conversations at the level of the person in charge, regardless of the size of the university or whether or not there is a support system, and to form a network of universities and staff. The next meeting will be held in February~March 2017. Once the content of the event has been decided, it will be announced on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto.

< ended> [For students and faculty members] Note-taker training course (beginner level) 《9/16》Call for participants

The University Consortium Kyoto will hold the “Note-Taker Training Course (Beginner Edition)” for students, faculty and staff as follows.
In recent years, many students with hearing impairments have been studying at universities, and there is a need for “information security” in lectures. A typical method of dealing with this is “note-taking,” in which lecture information is written down to students with hearing impairments. Currently, the number of supporters who take notes is insufficient at each university, and increasing the number of supporters is a very important issue for hearing-impaired students studying at universities.
Therefore, this time, in order to let more students, faculty and staff know about note-taking, we will hold a “Note-Taker Training Course” for those who are interested in note-taking (inexperienced) or those who have just started supporting (beginners). Why don’t you start note-taking as a step towards creating an environment where students support and learn from each other, and to guarantee the rights of everyone who studies at university?

Report: The 16th Kansai Roundtable Meeting of Support Personnel for Students with Disabilities (KSSK)

The 16th Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable Meeting

On March 3, the Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto, with the aim of interacting with people in charge of disability support at universities in the Kansai region.
　
For the 16th time, we invited the person in charge of actually providing support from Wakayama University and Ryukoku University, which have developed support systems for students with disabilities over the past few years, to talk about the current situation and issues in the field. In addition, the subcommittees were divided into two groups each on the three themes of “Support Practices,” “Career Support,” and “Support Systems (Guidelines, etc.),” and exchanged opinions on how to support students with disabilities in small groups.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities that will come into effect in April 28, 70 people participated, exceeding the originally planned capacity of 60 people, including not only disability support staff, but also educational staff and career managers. While the participants received positive comments such as “It was good to hear about the specific development of the system because there were issues with support and maintenance” and “Since it was a subcommittee of the same size university, there were many common issues and it was very helpful,” while others expressed their awareness of future issues, such as “I want to know how to support practical training” and “How can I gain the understanding of faculty and staff?”

We will continue to plan and consider the meeting so that it functions as a place for various universities, departments, and personnel to exchange opinions and interact. The next meeting is scheduled to be held around September 2016. Once the content of the event has been decided, it will be announced on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto.

Providing topics about the university’s initiatives In the subcommittees, the people in charge share their worries with each other.
