The word “harm” does not mean that the person has a physical or mental impairment, but rather refers to a barrier to society. Additionally, due to variations in the use of the words disability and disability, there is a risk that people, their families, and other parties concerned may not be able to obtain the information they really want. In order to prevent this kind of risk from occurring, we have labeled it as a failure. ■Contact information Barrier-Free Research Institute, General Incorporated Association National Barrier-Free Public Project-IKKEL Management Office Person in charge: Kanno Address:
