FY2020

 

Outline of the event

1. Purpose

In order to consider support for high school and university students with disabilities (consideration at the time of entrance examinations, study support, support system, etc.), this time we will provide topics from the perspective of special needs education on specific cases seen in high schools and universities, and then hold a roundtable discussion for each group. We aim to make it a meaningful meeting for both sides, not only for high school teachers but also for university faculty and staff, as it will be an opportunity to learn about problems in high school support and career guidance, as well as requests for universities.

14:10 Topic Presentation (1) “Support for Students with Disabilities and Support for Students with Physical Disabilities in Universities”

≪ Lecturer≫
Yuji Miyatani (Coordinator, Support Room for Students with Disabilities, Kyoto University)

≪ Contents≫
It is very useful to understand the difference in culture (how support should be) between high school and university in the high school-university connection. We will explain the general aspects of the support provided at the university, and introduce examples of support for students with physical disabilities.

14:40 Topics (2)
“Support for Students with Mental and Developmental Disabilities ~From Examples of Support Based on Understanding Characteristics~”

≪ Lecturer≫
Eiichiro Iwai
(Ritsumeikan University, Support Coordinator, Office for Students with Disabilities, School Psychologist, Certified Psychologist)

≪ Contents≫
In student support, support is rarely completed by a single department.
We value “face-to-face collaboration” with various departments, and we will introduce examples of support that focuses on understanding characteristics rather than diagnosis names.

Faculty and staff of universities will be asked to introduce the status of efforts to support students with disabilities at each university, and to answer questions and other questions from faculty members of high schools and other institutions, and to exchange information and exchanges.
