We introduced a user-researcher employment system over a wide range of disabilities for the first time in Japan. The system aims to bring research that utilizes the perspectives of people with disabilities into academia and has been implemented in the area of mental illness in countries such as the United Kingdom. Ms. Makino, who is deaf signer, was selected for a grant by the Foundation for Promoting Personal Mobility and Ecological Transportation (Eco-Mo Foundation) to develop an in-flight comfort scale, and Ms. Hirokawa is carrying out action research on information support for performing arts, including barrier-free theatrical performances.
