I was Interviewed by “Junglecity”, a local media in Seattle. I have received more feedbacks than expected, and really feel my works are paid off a little bit.

Meaningful Law That Is Unknown and Not Respected. It Is Meaningless ~ Pacific ADA Center Part 1 ~
I have visited Pacific ADA Center in the Bay Area. The center provides information and training programs to promote ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) which has a strong power in the U.S. Japan has also similar laws to protect disability rights, but, unfortunately, it is not commonly known and practiced. What can we do to change that?

Leaning Environment for People with Disabilities
Kristen has been in special education field all through her undergraduate to graduate training at Vanderbilt University. After graduation, she taught students with a wide range of disabilities from mild to fairly severe and profound level in a high school. A couple years later, she went back to Vanderbilt University to get her Master’s degree in special education technology. During her research, she met Prof. Doug Fuchs and got involved with a lot of his research related to learning disabilities (LD) and academic related difficulties. In the doctoral program, she spent efforts on a program called Peer Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS), which is a peer tutoring program that is designed as an inclusive general education approach to accommodate a lot of kids with disabilities or academic difficulties.
A Japanese Moon Rider at University of Minnesota
While I was looking for interviewees, one of the professors that I know at University of Minnesota introduced another professor. Her name suggests she may be a Japanese person and I was very excited because I never expected to meet a Japanese researcher in Minnesota! I emailed her and got a reply very soon. Surprisingly she also uses wheelchair (Moon Rider) !

Wheelchair Accessible Guest Rooms In Minnesota!
I would like to introduce the hotels I stayed in Minnesota. In the U.S., there is a wheelchair accessible room (ADA room) at every hotels. We do have the same kind of room in Japan called “barrier free room”, but usually we need to pay more to stay in those rooms. Here in the U.S. you can request a wheelchair accessible room at booking or checking in, and usually you are not charged extra payment under ADA.
