In order to create a society where everyone can live brightly at home and in the community, regardless of the presence or absence of disabilities, the disabled themselves implement social participation promotion measures and promote independent living and social participation in the community. We have established the "Disability Social Participation Promotion Center".
As one of the initiatives, we provide a “IT workshop for the disabled” where various people with disabilities, including the visually impaired, can learn how to use PCs and tablet terminals.
