In US, I have a right under the law to get interpreters and notetakers or any other accommodation needed. Usually, it is university that provides interpreters and notetakers, and they are required to provide it. And interpreters are often hired professionals that went through training and classes at their college to be able to interpret.<br /><br />This make me wonder what rights do deaf students have in their country? Do you know any law or rights that those deaf students have in Japan?DeafStudentnoreply@blogger.com
