AT (Assistive Technology) Library: A Hands-on Session for Assistive Technology for Persons with Disabilities by UTokyo PHED

2023/10/25

UTokyo PHED will visit our campus to hold an AT Library at Hiyoshi Campus. The AT Library will introduce assistive technology (AT) that helps undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities learn more easily and live more comfortably.

The first half of the session will be an explanation of the devices, and in the second half, everyone will have the opportunity to try out the assistive technology for themselves.

The Platform for Higher Education and Disability (PHED) is a project that the University of Tokyo has been working on since 2017.

It forms a collaborative platform for universities and other institutions, serving as the foundation for an organizational approach to supporting students with disabilities into the future.
