Outline of the event
Part 1
- 1. Purpose
- This course is intended for staff working in academic affairs and student-related workplaces, and is an opportunity to learn what kind of thinking should be taken into account when dealing with students with disabilities. In addition, this training is not only for academic affairs and student staff at each university or junior college, but also for faculty and staff who have been assigned to support students with disabilities due to personnel changes, etc., and staff belonging to other departments. With the enactment of the revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in April 2024, the purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity to learn about what reasonable accommodation is and how to provide various types of support based on it, and to exchange practical opinions and information that can be used in daily work.

It has been said for a long time that we are living in an age where we can live to 100 years. However, university is only four years out of the 100-year life expectancy, and these four years are built on 12 years of primary and secondary education, and a long life will continue after graduation. Based on a hypothetical case, we will hold a roundtable discussion on the nature and support of these four years after primary and secondary education and before they are sent out into society. We hope that this will be an opportunity for staff working in academic and student affairs offices to think about how to deal with students with disabilities.14:00 Rest and movement 14:10 Group discussion and Q&A
