In light of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, which came into effect in April 2016, the University Consortium Kyoto is working on projects related to support for students with disabilities, which are in high demand from member schools. This time, we will hold a workshop as follows as “Study Support for Students with Disabilities (Basic Course)”. We look forward to your participation.
Outline of the event
Part 1
- 1. Purpose
- This course is intended for staff working in academic affairs and student-related workplaces, and is an opportunity to learn what kind of thinking should be taken into account when dealing with students with disabilities. In addition, this training is not only for academic affairs and student staff at each university or junior college, but also for faculty and staff who have been assigned to support students with disabilities due to personnel changes, etc., and staff belonging to other departments. With the enactment of the revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in April 2024, the purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity to learn about what reasonable accommodation is and how to provide various types of support based on it, and to exchange practical opinions and information that can be used in daily work.

It has been a long time since we have been living in the age of 100 years, but in universities, there are only four years of the 100-year lifespan, but those four years are built on 12 years of primary and secondary education, and a long life continues after graduation. After completing primary and secondary education, we will talk about the ideal way and support for the four years that students will be sent out into society in a roundtable discussion format based on virtual case studies. I would like to use this as an opportunity to think about how to deal with students with disabilities, focusing on staff working in academic affairs and student settings.14：00 Rest & Movement 14：10 Group Discussion and Q&A
