Employment of People With Disabilities

Jeff and I have hosted “the 12th Big Smile”. The topics we covered includes: 1. Difficulties people with disabilities are facing, and 2. What are the reasonable accommodations at work?

I have been visiting companies and interviewing them to understand their policy of employment for people with disabilities. This is my research theme I will start in the US soon. You know what…! I had an wonderful opportunity to visit Google Japan yesterday!

I’ve used a wheelchair since 7 years old. My parents always told me “you can do anything besides walking.” But as I grew older, I found the things I can/can’t do by wheelchair. One of the timings was when someone asked me about my dream.

I had a training session last Friday at the office with other handicapped workers from Yamagata and Mito offices. Only I and another staff were from HQ, so I was kinda nervous before the training starts. But they are so friendly! I could get along with them very quickly.
