- 1. Purpose
- This training is intended for university faculty and staff to learn what kind of thinking should be taken into account when dealing with students with disabilities. In addition, it is an opportunity for not only faculty and staff in charge of supporting students with disabilities, but also faculty and staff who are not directly in charge of “supporting students with disabilities at universities”. With the revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities coming into effect in April 2024, the purpose of this training session is to provide students with appropriate learning about what reasonable accommodations are and how to provide various types of support based on them, and to conduct daily work with these in mind.

In April 2024, the revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities came into effect, making it a legal obligation for all higher education institutions, including private universities, to provide reasonable accommodations. As a result, many higher education institutions are actively working to support students with disabilities. However, should support for students with disabilities be tackled just because it is a legal obligation? I hope that you will reconsider why it is necessary to support students with disabilities, and that this will be an opportunity to foster awareness and share awareness throughout your university.14：00 Rest and movement 14：10 Q pre-questions>

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 is said that the era of 100-year life is said to be the era of 100 years of life, and these days, it is only four years of the 100-year life era at university, but those four years are based on 12 years of primary and secondary education, and a long life continues after graduation. We will provide topics in a roundtable format based on virtual case studies about the way and support for the four years that will be sent out into society after this primary and secondary education. I would like to see this as an opportunity for staff working in academic affairs and student workplaces to think about how to deal with students with disabilities.14：00 Rest and movement 14：10 Group Discussion and Q
