The University Consortium Kyoto will hold the Kansai Student Support Staff Meeting (KSSK) as follows for the purpose of interacting with those involved in disability support services at universities in Kansai.

With the enforcement of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in April 28, the establishment of a system to support students with disabilities has become an issue for many universities. In this 16th meeting, we will have support personnel from two universities (national and private) that have established support systems over the past few years come and provide topics about the current situation and issues.

In addition, the subcommittee will discuss the four themes of support practices, career support, support systems (guidelines, etc.), and actual support (role plays), and consider how to support students with disabilities.

If you are a faculty member or staff member who is involved in supporting students with disabilities at a university or junior college in the Kansai area, or who is interested in supporting students with disabilities, please join us.
