Reply To: Question about People with Invisible Disabilities in Kyoto
Hi Laura,
While our site mostly deals with visible disabilities, I would love to get more information on invisible disabilities as well!
Some places you might want to get in touch with:
- http://watashinofukushi.com/ – a group trying to raise awareness of invisible disabilities that was featured on NHK a number of years ago (https://www.nhk.or.jp/seikatsu-blog/600/137458.html)
- The ladies making badges for children with invisible disabilities here: https://mainichi.jp/articles/20170625/k00/00m/040/063000c
- Muchu Center – a bit of a train trip from Kyoto, but they are a very active disabilities rights group that could definitely at least point you in the right direction: https://www.npo-muchu.com/ . At least one of the staff speaks English fluently.
If you find out some information, please share it with us so we can improve our website (www.accessible-japan.com)!
