Topic "Basic Understanding of Reasonable Accommodation from the Perspective of HEAP Consultation Programs"
≪Lecturer≫ Jun Murata (Associate Professor, Student Support Center, Kyoto University)

Although understanding of reasonable accommodation at universities is spreading, as far as I can see from the situation of each university through the HEAP consultation program, it is not yet fully shared how to consider the components and processes for determining reasonable accommodation. In this topic, we would like to provide an opportunity to reconsider the points for the provision of reasonable accommodation based on the trend of cases received in the HEAP consultation program.
