TECHNICAL EXHIBITION ON REHABILITATION

In view of the interest of participants from overseas in scientific technology in Japan, an Exhibition of Rehabilitation Technology was held under the theme of "New Technology and the Disabled."

The opening ceremony was held on Monday, September 5. Using a range of equipment and display panels, the exhibition showed how the latest electronics had been applied to modern rehabilitation equipment. Also, this exhibition considered the future direction, progress and potential of such specialized technology.

The exhibition was basically divided into three sections:

The first section explained the systems by which Japan's rehabilitation-related research organizations conduct research concerning welfare equipment. Also, welfare-related technology that is either under development or actually in use was displayed.

The second section comprised of communication technology. There are a considerable number of cases whereby people have communication problems due to the nature of their disability, or they are forced to use telecommunications because of a lack of accessible transportation. Innovative electronic technology in this field has made communication possible, and is expected to continue making great inroads in the future. A certain amount of this type of equipment was on view.

The third area showed a section of a model house which had been specially designed to allow a severely disabled person to lead an independent life, through use of the latest welfare and labour-saving technology. The exhibition was open to the public for two days and the total amount of participants was over 1,500.

OUTLINE OF THE CONGRESS

The 16th World Congress of Rehabilitation International was held from 5 to 9 September, 1988 at the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel in Tokyo. The first Rehabilitation International World Congress ever held in Asia atttracted more than 2,800 participants from 93 countries and areas.

Fourteen Pre/Post-Congress Seminars were organized before and after the Congress in many cities in Japan. During the Congress several activities were organized in and around Tokyo such as International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition '88, Rehabilitation Film Festival and Exhibition of Arts for Visually Disabled People.

- Tokyo was selected as the site of the 16th Congress -

The World Congress has been the most important activity of Rehabilitation International since the first Congress was organized in 1929 in Geneva. However, with the exceptions of 12th Congress in Sydney and 13th in Tel Aviv, the Congress gathered in Europe and America. The RI Regional Committee for Asia and the Pacific, which has the longest history among the Regions of RI, has long desired to organize the World Congress in the Region. The Japanese Society for Rehabilitation of the Disabled and people concerned with disability rehabilitation in Japan, who could develop rehabilitation services with great help of developed countries, in 30 years after the World War II, were also very eager in inviting the World Congress.

The site of the 16th World Congress was decided to be Tokyo at the RI Assembly meeting in Washington, D.C. in October 1983. Since then the Organizing Committee has been formed and preparations for the 16th Congress was started. The Memorandum of Agreement for the Organization of the 16th World Congress of Rehabilitation International was signed by the President of RI and President of the Organizing Committee in March 1985.

- The Main Theme of the Congress -

The Main Theme of the Congress, "Realistic Approaches - Looking Ahead Towards Comprehensive Rehabilitation" was officially approved and the Scientific Program was organized under this main theme in order to discuss the future of comprehensive rehabilitation as well as to find realistic approaches based upon realities and status quo of each country.

- Government Support -

The Japanese Government recognized the importance of the Congress, which was expected to contribute greatly to the welfare of disabled persons nationally and internationally, and decided to support the organization of the Congress. The Organizing Committee obtained support and cooperation from various Governmental Agencies.

PREPARATIONS

The Organizing Committee was convened in January 1984. Till the opening of the Congress each committee had the following number of meetings to prepare for the Congress:

The Secretariat was formed just after the RI Assembly agreed to Tokyo as the site for the 16th World Congress. In addition to all the staff of the Japanese Society for Rehabilitation of the Disabled, many agencies offered helpers to assist in Congress Preparations. The following agencies very kindly offered some of their staff both before and during the Congress:

The Ministry of Health and Welfare
The Ministry of Labour
The National Rehabilitation Center for the Disabled (NRCD)
The Japan Association for Employment of the Disabled (JAED)
The National Vocational Rehabilitation Center for the Disabled (NVRCD)
The Tokyo Welfare Center for the Physically and Mentally Disabled
The National Council on Social Welfare (NCSW)
The Social Welfare & Medical Care Corporation
The Japan Food Aid Association for Child Welfare

Finance The total overall cost of the Congress was estimated to be over \400,000,000. This exceeds the expected revenue from registration fees by a great deal. In four years of fund-raising, we received grants and donations from many sectors which helped us immensely. The following is a list of main agencies and organizations from which we received donations:

• The Japanese Government; the Tokyo Metropolitan Government; the Japan Motorcycle Racing Organization; the Federation of Economic Organizations; the Consumer Livelihood Cooperative Association; Private Aid Organizations; the Rotary Foundation and Rotary Clubs; Labour Organizations; Organizations of Disabled People, and many other private companies and organizations.

Program The Congress program is prepared by the Secretary General of Rehabilitation International in consultation with related organizations. The Program Committee sent questionnaires throughout the nation and the world concerning possible Congress program issues. Consequently, a main draft of the Congress's main Theme and Program were drawn up, with the agreement of the Secretary General. The RI Assembly, held in London in October 1987, then ratified the Program officially.

A Japanese Session Coordinator was appointed for each session and took responsibility for selecting one Japanese speaker for each session, the Session's organization, and acting as co-chair of the session during the Congress.

As this was the first RI World Congress to be held in Asia, the Organizing Committee was particularly concerned to stress issues crucial to the region. Leprosy was one particular issue, and the Sasagawa Memorial Health Foundation supported the organization of the Leprosy Session both technically and financially.

Poster Sessions were staged for the first time in the Congress. This offered many participants an opportunity to present a thesis during the Congress. Also all participants could enjoy these presentations between other sessions. Further, these were greatly appreciated by those who have a little difficulty in catching spoken English, because the posters offered them plenty of time to read and take in graphs, photos and also to converse with the authors to some extent.

Ceremonies and Events The following particular ceremonies and events were planned: the Opening and Closing Ceremonies; Welcome Reception; Japan Night; Facility Visits and Accompanying Person's Program.

Congress Site and Accommodation The Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel was selected as the Congress Site, from several possible convention sites in and around Tokyo. The Plaza's accessibility and willingness to accept disabled people proved to be most important factors in this choice.

Several nearby hotels were listed, ranging from economical to rather expensive, and participants given details about them. Since not all hotels were accessible, the Organizing Committee requested wheelchair users to stay at either the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel or the Toyama Sunrise Center. Although the Committee booked several accessible rooms at the Tokyo Hilton Hotel and the Tokyo Sports Center for the Disabled, these were not used.

Registration When preparations first began, the Congress registration fee was set at about \70,000. At that time, this was wquivalent to U.S.$350, the registration fee for the 15th World Congress in Lisbon. However, the Yen's value continued to rise rapidly and revision was unavoidable. Finally, \50,000 was approved by the RI Assembly in London in 1987 with the condition that if the Yen increased even more, the registration fee should be set at the equivalent of US$350.

The registration fee for an accompanying person was \40,000 and a severely disabled person's attendant was exempted from registration fee.

The Training of Volunteers, to assist disabled people and to act as interpreters, was started from April 1988 with the assistance of the Japanese Red Cross Society. A trainning course for interpreters of American Sign Language was also organized.

Public Relations A variety of activities took place to create wider publicity, promote participation in the World Congress and also develop public interest in both the Congress and wider issues of disability. The Congress symbol was designed by Mr. Aisaku Murakoshi, a famous designer. Several Newsletters and Circulars were distributed nationally and internationally. A press conference and information seminar for embassies were both organized, and promotional materials were distributed at other conferences and meetings. The following materials were prepared:

* Chinese, French and Spanish versions of the First Circular were also prepared.

An Access Committee was specifically set up to cope with the access problems disabled Participants might meet after arriving in Japan or at the Congress site. The following areas were considered:

Congress site and accommodation - With their great cooperation and assistance, a detailed survey was taken of the accessibility situation around and within the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel. Consequently, fifteen rooms were remodeled for the use of wheelchair users. Entrance halls and restaurants were also slightly remodeled, temporary toilets were installed and hotel employees received training in how to assist disabled people.

The New Tokyo International Airport & other transportation - The New Tokyo International Airport in Narita is inconvenient for anyone, irrelevant of disability! After several surveys and meetings with Ministry of Transport, New Tokyo International Airport Corporation, Tokyo Airport Limousine and Airlines officials, special arrangements were made for disabled persons to go through customs clearance smoothly even when the airport was awfully crowded. Although it was not possible to be made ready in time for the Congress, an elevator is to be set up in near future to assist wheelchair users.
The Access Committee had meetings with other transportation agencies, such as Japan Railways and other private railway Companies, Shinjuku Station and Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation representatives, concerning accessibility for disabled persons both during and after the Congress.

Shinjuku Guide - The Committee undertook a survey of accessible areas around the Shinjuku Area and made a "Shinjuku Guide Map" for participants.

Commemorative Stamps and Commemorative Public Lottery Tickets were issued by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, respectively.

A Film on the 16th World Congress of Rehabilitation International was produced in Japanese.

PRACTICAL ORGANIZATION OF THE CONGRESS

Registration and Information Services

1. From the 3rd September, participants were able to come to the Registration Desk established in the Grace Lobby area of the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel. Registration fees were collected and Congress documents distributed by ICS staff. Besides registrations for participants and accompanying persons, one-day registrations were also accepted.

2. A General Information Desk and Travel Information Desk were set up in the Grace Lobby also. Information Boards and Message Boards were installed on the 3rd and 4th floors for participant's use.

3. Shinjuku Post Office opened a temporary office in the Grace Lobby.

Operation of Congress Programs

1. During the Congress, there occured many program changes in such as details of chairpersons and speakers. Any necessary adjustments were made by the Secretary General of RI and publicized through the "Daily News" bulletins and Information Boards. Japanese session coordinators assisted chairpersons to preside over sessions at the Congress.

2. Besides receiving copies of Abstracts when they registered, participants also received copies of Full Papers where possible. The papers received before the Congress had been reproduced beforehand. However, many speakers brought their papers with them...the Secretariat were sometimes busy far into the night preparing the next day's papers!

A printer was donated for free by the Ricoh Company, and staff of the NRCD and the NVRCD were in charge of this.

3. Also, for participants with hearing-impairment, Japanese sign-language interpretation was provided in all sessions. Information in both Japanese and English was shown by overhead projector, and American sign-language interpretation was provided in all plenary sessions and most of the sectoral sessions. The newly developed "Realtime Captioning" service in Japanese, was also shown during some of the plenary sessions, demonstrating the latest computer technology.

Documents were prepared in braille and cassette formats for participants with visual impairment. All chairpersons and coordinators were asked to present their sessions clearly. Cassettes of all sessions were on sale during the Congress.

Accessibility had been carefully arranged for each session. Ramps and lifts were installed where necessary.

The Organizing Committee would like to extend the greatest appreciation for their kind cooperation to:

• The Tokyo Sign-language Interpreters' Association
• The Culture and Information Center for Hearing Impaired People
• The National Rehabilitation Center for the Disabled (NRCD)
• Mr. Carl Kirshner
• Ms. Caroline Kirshner
• Ms. Joy Heil
• The Ohunkai Braille Center
• The Japan Braille Library
• The Tokyo Helen Keller Association
• Taiho Electric Co.

Public Relations

1. A Press Room was opened and more than eighty news agencies and newspaper, radio and television companies, both national and international, visited the Congress site. The Congress was covered by all major newspapers and television channels in Japan.

2. A "Daily News" bulletin was published during the Congress in Japanese, English and in braille also. Writing, editing, English translation, braille and printing were shared by the Assistant Secretary General of RI, staff of JSRD, JAED, NRCD and volunteers. A braille translating system was provided by IBM.

Transportation

1. Being located far from the center of Tokyo, accessible transportation to and from the New Tokyo International Airport had been one of the headaches of the Organizing Committee from the very beginning. Detailed information on transportation between the airport and central Tokyo was sent to disabled participants before the Congress, with questionnaires inquiring whether they needed specific assistance, such as transport with a tail-lift, etc.

From August 20 to September 2, accessible buses were sent to the airport to meet the participants as they arrived. On September 3 and 4, accessible buses shuttled between the Airport and Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel and Toyama Sunrise, at one to two hour intervals. During this time, secretarial staff and volunteers stayed at Narita Airport overnight to meet participants from 6:00 a.m. until midnight.

In Japan, in the first weekend of September the airport is very crowded as people are then returning from abroad after summer vacations. Nevertheless, Congress participants were generally able to get into the city without much difficulty, owing to the great assistance given to us by related agencies. Volunteer interpreters and attendants at the airport were from the Red Cross Language Volunteer Service and the Chiba Chapter of the Japanese Red Cross Society.

On September 9 and 10, accessible shuttle-buses took participants to the airport for their departure from Japan.

2. During the Congress, accessible shuttle buses operated from morning to night between the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel and the Toyama Sunrise Center.

3. Both non-accessible and accessible buses shuttled participants to the International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition '88 at Hamamatsucho on 8 and 9 September. Sightseeing tours were operated by the JTB travel agency during the congress, and a bus with a tail-lift took participants on the Tokyo sightseeing tour.

4. Eleven coaches and six minibuses, all equipped with tail-lifts for wheelchair users, were provided by many facilities around the Tokyo area during the Congress. Bus services were operated by JAED and NRCD staff.

Accommodation

Hotel reservations were arranged for participants by the Japan Travel Bureau and their agents.

Disabled persons with some degree of mobility stayed at the Shinjuku Washington Hotel, and wheelchair users were at the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel and the Toyama Sunrise Center. Questionnaires had previously been sent to disabled participants, inquiring about particular accommodation needs. However, many people also arrived without informing us of their needs. Secretarial staff stayed at the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel, the Shinjuku Washington Hotel and the Toyama Sunrise Center to help disabled people. Japan Red Cross Language Service Volunteers and Boy Scouts also stayed at the Toyama Sunrise Center as attendants for severely disabled people.

The Waseda Hoshien Dormitory was reserved for participants who required lower-priced accommodation and the Seven City Hotel was used by staff.

Special Services for Disabled Participants

1. Since a large number of disabled participants were expected, the Access Committee prepared various specialized services for disabled participants. These were mostly provided free of charge, with just a few exceptions.

These included:

1. Wheelchair repair services.
2. Battery-charging service for users of electric wheelchairs.
3. Wheelchair rental service.
4. Tape-recorder rental service.
5. Tieloop, T-type hearing aid and alarm-lamp rental for those with hearing impairments.
6. On-site telefax and telephones for people with hearing difficulties.
7. Shinjuku guide map.
8. Attendant care and Interpretation in various languages.
9. Sign language interpretation.
10. Typing, wordprocessing, braille typing and copying.
11. Tactile map.

2. A Hospitality Desk was opened in the Grace Room of the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel. The above mentioned services were arranged via this desk, along with various other requests and inquiries. Professional staff of the JAED manned the desk, and were assisted with professional advice where necessary by their colleagues from the Tokyo Metropolitan Welfare Center for the Physically and Mentally Disabled, and the Tokyo Council on Social Welfare. Volunteers acted as language and sign-language interpreters.

Participants requested information on such as which facilities to visit, where to find relevant written information, how to buy technical aids, advice regarding people with whom to exchange information and ideas, where to visit for sightseeing and shopping etc. Requests were also taken for volunteer attendants, interpreters for assistance with shopping and so on.

The desk staff cheerfully undertook to answer all requests and questions. Their sincere efforts were greatly appreciated.

Medical Care

A First Aid Room was open from September 4 to 9 in the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel and a doctor and two nurses from NRCD were stationed there. They stayed overnight at the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel in case of any emergency.

Volunteer nurses stayed at the Toyama Sunrise Center and worked under the direction of the above doctor in the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel.

The Tokyo Medical College Hospital in Shinjuku and the Narita Red Cross Hospital also offered their services for our participants.

Financial Assistance for Participants from Developing Countries

In order to increase the participation of delegates from developing countries, the Organizing Committee offered financial assistance to participants - particularly disabled people - from these areas. The selection of applicants was decided through the RI National Secretary of each country. The Committee also received recommendations from foreign embassies in Japan, the RI Headquarters, international organizations and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In total, 131 people from 49 countries received assistance.

Funds for this were kindly donated by the Rotary Foundation and Rotary Clubs.

Personnel

These organizations gave the following number of staff for the congress:

RI Headquarters

The President of RI, the Secretary General and other staff arrived in Tokyo on 26 August, and an RI Headquarters Office was opened in the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel. The Organizing Committee arranged suites for the President and Secretary General, for their official use.

Congress Secretariat

The Congress Secretariat took over the Katsura Room in the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel. They liaised with hotel staff, kept track of accounts, arranged staff meals and accommodation, received VIP's etc.

Volunteers

Many volunteers contributed to the success of the Congress. Besides the Red Cross Language Service Volunteers, volunteers also came from the Chiba Chapter of the Japanese Red Cross, the Boy Scouts, and many other volunteered individually. Their total number was 270.

They assisted in the following areas:

1. At the Information and Registration Desks, particularly assisting those people with disabilities.
2. At the Hospitality Desk, acting as interpreters. They contacted other sections; assisted participants to find various places or services offered during the Congress; acted as translaters; assisted disabled participants in their rooms and/or accompanied them when shopping. They also ran the equipment rental of the various items available.
3. Volunteers were situated in the Grace Room, where they awaited requests for assistance. For such situations as the Opening Ceremony - where many people would need mobility assistance, etc. - they were at the site en masse. They went to help at the request of any other section. Their tasks included attendant care, typing, copying, interpretation, assisting people to get to hospital, guiding blind people, and the like.
4. Interpretation services at the various Technical and Arts & Performance and Film Festival were all done by volunteers. They also assisted in much of the work involved in these events, such as receiving participants and explaining programs. They also assisted VIPs at the Official Reception and other occasions.
5. Volunteers interpreted and assisted participants during the Facility Visits and the Accompanying Person's Program.
6. All shuttle-buses were assigned volunteers. They were at the New Tokyo International Airport from early morning through to midnight. They greeted overseas participants and assisted disabled people as required.
7. Volunteers provided attendant care to severely disabled people staying at the Toyama Sunrise Center.
8. Volunteers were involved in the publication of the "Daily News" bulletins during the Congress.
9. The RI Secretariat were based at the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel from the 26th of September. Volunteers helped these staff with their many clerical and secretarial duties.
10. Volunteers worked at the Rotary Fund Desk, the Press Room, the Printing Office and with the Congress Secretariat.

All volunteers had been previously assigned and then trained in their relevant tasks long before the Congress, allowing time for previous study and training in their particular work.
