Intellectual disability and sports
Big, clear, hiragana
For people with low vision or intellectual disabilities, having large, easy-to-understand guide signs will help them avoid getting lost.Make it easier to understand by using furigana for kanji on presentation materials and information panels, and using illustrations such as arrows and red text.
●[Saitama Prefecture Disabled Persons Exchange Center]
We use furigana for kanji, and use arrows, illustrations, red text, etc. to make the information easy to understand.We have also added furigana to the panels using stickers.

Securing flow lines for visually impaired people
Visually impaired people use a white cane or their feet and rely on guiding blocks.Do not leave chairs or other objects near guiding blocks or traffic lines, and do not allow crowds to form.
●[Nagoya City Sports Center for the Disabled]
Ropes are laid down and fixed with vinyl tape, and original guidance blocks (lines) are installed to indicate safe movement routes within the museum.

Do not create rows above braille blocks
If people form a line on top of the Braille blocks, visually impaired people will not be able to move forward.It will be easier to divide the area so that sighted people do not stand on the Braille blocks.
Consideration has been given to avoid forming rows on the Braille blocks.Easy to understand using illustrations
Explaining equipment using easy-to-understand illustrations will help you use the desired facility correctly.
●[Katsushika City General Sports Center Heated Pool Building]
The depth of the pool is clearly displayed with illustrations.Also, all kanji have furigana.

If there are obstacles such as pillars in the path of a visually impaired person, there is a risk of collision.Wrap it in cushioning material to prevent injury in the unlikely event of a collision.
Communication through facility tours
By frequently visiting the facility, you can find people who are in trouble within the facility.
●[Kyoto City Sports Center for the Disabled]
