(c) NCUE's Graduate Institute of Rehabilitation Counseling organized the symposium "Implementing the Concept of Reasonable Accommodation in Vocational Rehabilitation Practice." The institute has been committed to promoting the concept of reasonable accommodation. We specially invited Taiwanese-American scholar Dr. Chung-Yi Chiu to return to Taiwan to share experiences, aiming to help domestic vocational rehabilitation professionals further understand reasonable accommodation's origins—the implementation experience of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This concept extends to employment for people with disabilities, emphasizing employers' responsibility to provide "reasonable accommodation" measures for employees with disabilities or chronic diseases, enabling disabled employees to adapt to job requirements and demonstrate work effectiveness through these measures.
