Presentation: “Basic understanding of reasonable accommodation as seen through the HEAP consultation service”

＜Lecturer＞
Mr. Jun Murata (Associate Professor, Student Support Center, Kyoto University)

＜Contents＞
Understanding of reasonable accommodation at universities is spreading, but as far as I can tell from observing the situation at each university through the HEAP consultation service, it cannot be said that there is yet a sufficient sharing of how to think about the components and process in determining reasonable accommodation. In this presentation, I would like to provide an opportunity to reconsider the key points for providing reasonable accommodation based on the trends in cases received by the HEAP consultation service.

Breakout Sessions

A Visually impaired Capacity: 10 people

Students will deepen their understanding of support for the visually impaired through lectures, work, and case studies, focusing on the degree of disability and consideration according to the field of study, the use of assistive devices, the training of supporters, and ensuring the quality of support.

B Coordinator Capacity: 20 people

In the first half of the subcommittee, participants are divided by number of years of experience as coordinators or those engaged in support work for students with disabilities, and freely exchange opinions on the concerns and issues they are faced in the field. In the second half, all participants will share their concerns and issues based on the exchange of opinions in the first half, and discuss based on the success stories of each university and the cases where issues remain.

C. Life support for students with severe disabilities Capacity: 10 people

Students with severe physical disabilities may need physical assistance such as eating and excretion, as well as reasonable accommodations such as classes and exams. However, there is not enough know-how or solutions shared when it comes to such assistance. This subcommittee will provide an opportunity to discuss the current status and challenges of support, including specific examples.

D. Consider reasonable accommodations Capacity: 20 people

Lecture format
Although the need for reasonable accommodation has been confirmed at each university, there are various issues in concrete implementation. In particular, when providing reasonable accommodation to students with developmental disabilities or mental disabilities, there are many issues in determining the target, scope, and appropriateness of the accommodation. This subcommittee will be an opportunity to consider the concept and provision of reasonable accommodation based on specific examples.

E Support for Students with Disabilities and Career Support Capacity: 10 people

In order for students with disabilities to advance in society, it is often necessary not only to support their job hunting, but also to continue to be involved, including the process up to that point. This subcommittee will provide an opportunity for the exchange of opinions and information for cooperation and collaboration between the support desk for students with disabilities and the contact point for career support, with the aim of providing more effective support for social transition.
