Seminar B - Enhancing the Use of Assistive Devices

The “First-Time Assistive Devices Selection and Usage Seminar,” which has been held for 20 years, has been revamped into a seminar for professionals such as care managers and care workers, titled “Assistive Devices Utilization Step-Up Course”, starting from H.C.R.2024, with a view to promoting the appropriate use of assistive devices at home in anticipation of the coming super-aging society!

On a stage designed to resemble a home environment, experienced instructors will give explanations over three days, including demonstrations of assistive devices.
