Yokohama City Disability Plan Symposium

Yokohama City aims to realize a society where people with and without disabilities can live independently and safely in the community. To that end, we launched "Safety Net Project Yokohama" in collaboration with citizens from this year.
This year, as one of the specific activities, we will create a communication board to make it easier for people with intellectual disabilities (especially those who are not good at communicating such as autism) to communicate their wills and demands. , Distributed to stores such as convenience stores (approximately 1,150 locations).

• This is the first time in Japan to collaborate with citizens, from planning to creation and distribution. This is the first time in all city areas.
• Simultaneously during the week of the Disabled. Distribution is carried out by persons with disabilities, their families, and supporters.
• The distribution destination will be familiar convenience stores, etc., and the number of people with disabilities will be able to shop and watch over.
