The Consortium of Universities Kyoto will hold the "Kansai Student Support Staff Roundtable for Students with Disabilities" (KSSK) as follows, with the aim of exchanging persons involved in disability support work at universities in Kansai.
With the enforcement of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in April 28, each university is required to further collaborate on improving the abilities of those in charge of supporting students with disabilities and providing information beyond the boundaries of universities.
In this 17th session, we will provide a topic about the efforts and issues of the Osaka University Campus Life Support Center. In addition, the subcommittees are divided into three themes: "Support System," "Introduction to Support Practice," and "Support Practice," and opinions will be exchanged on 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.

Topic Source: "Osaka University's Support System and Support Practices: Current Situation and Challenges" ≪Presenter≫ Naoto Mochizuki (Project Associate Professor, Campus Life Support Center, Osaka University) Satoko Nakano (Lecturer, Campus Life Support Center, Osaka University) ≪ Contents≫ With the enactment of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, the necessity and responsibility of each university to support students with disabilities has become clearer. Under such circumstances, there are many universities where the development of support systems and system creation are issues. Therefore, this time, I would like to introduce the support system and the current situation of practical work at Osaka University, and use it as a reference when promoting the development of the system at each university. |
