The revised Act on Eliminating Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities went into effect on April 1st. Private businesses will be required to provide reasonable accommodations in response to the requests of people with disabilities.
In response, companies in Tokyo will hold a training session to learn how to interact with people with disability. People with disabilities say that "reasonable accommodation" is insufficient in various situations in their daily lives, but many people give up even if they are given insufficient consideration by businesses. The Cabinet Office says that in order to remove social barriers, it is important for people with disabled and business operators to have repeated dialogue.
