1. ability support at Nagoya University

To make students with disabilities can have equivalent opportunities for academic learning with students without a disability, Nagoya University provides mainly two categories of support. One is the Adacemic Learning services which adjust learning environment, and the other is the Life Design support which regulates relationships between students and societies and students' life.
The first one, the Academic Learning services contains improvement of environment (advance measure for environmental improvement) service of universal design to make the campus usable for students both wit and without disabilities, and the reasonable accomodation service of individual adjustment along with disabilities or difficulties in academic learning activities. The range of the latter includes not only course taking such as lectures, seminars, and practical training, but also ensuring and assisting adequate accessibility to opportunities and information when official lectures, events, etc..
The next one, the Life Design Support is a support to facilitate growth and development of an individual student in which we think together about who the student is , what kind of relationship they as such has with their surrounding environments (others and societies). Subjectives would be growth and development as a person not necessarily limited to academic learning activity, such as deepening understanding of self and other, and acquiring alibity to learn and live a life.
Please refer to the services for detail.
Also, Nagoya University provides individual service on hunting for a job. Advice is given on how to choose career balancing their own strength and weekness. Please refer to the Career Support Center for more information.
