We decide what activities we want to do.

And it's because we overcome difficulties on our own,

we can gain the real experiences that lead to self-realization.

​

The CIL Muchu has a place for people with severe disabilities.

This is a day care center called "Space-Shuttle".

Unlike general day care center or workshop, it does not perform fixed light work.

We have to think about what we really want to do so that we can do the activities we really want to do in our own way, we are working on it.

​

We make our own decisions about what we do...

We wonder how to get to where we want to go, how to meet up with.

And what shall we do if there are steps or stairs?

 

The members of Space-Shuttle solve the problem by ourselves.

In this process, we can gain lived experience.

■Shuttle Kids Fair■

The Shuttle Kids Fair, a festival for children is planned by people with disabilities, is designed to help people with disabilities think of ourselves as just like "funny & elder brothers and sisters" rather than stereotypical image of as a group of people with disabilities.

​

The Shuttle Fair, is held every year by about 300 children from local elementary schools and nursery schools.

 

The Shuttle Kids Fair, Spring, summer and fall!

Anyone, feel free to come and visit us!

 

■Elementary School Exchange■　

Elementary school exchange　

We go to the elementary schools and gave a hands-on lesson.

We have a time to play and learn together.

We have enjoyed this exchange with children in many schools over the years.

 

■Safe Guard Activity for Children■

In the local elementary school district, Shuttle members, together with members of the senior citizen's association, regularly participate in watching over children to ensure their safety when they go to school.
We also carry out many other community-based activities.
These daily activities are part of our commitment to inclusive education.
