In order to promote the importance of creating an environment that is user-friendly to handicapped persons, the New Taipei City government has awarded a total of 23 enterprises for their disabled persons’ modifications. Among the 23 enterprises, Tamkang University is the only academic institute to receive the 2014 Outstanding Employer of Physically or Mentally Disabled Personnel Award. Director of the Vocational Training and Welfare Section, Chih-ling Peng, received the award on behalf of TKU on November 26th from deputy mayor, Shen-Hsien Chen.

The modern world has opened its eyes to the reality of diversity in all walks of life and emphasizes the creation of a suitable environment for all. The needs of the disabled and people from every background must be respected. TKU has been diligent about establishing an environment that tailors to special needs for quite some time and actively preserves and protects the rights of handicapped individuals. In terms of special assistance for disabled employees and students, TKU’s objective is to continually improve.

Chih-ling Peng stated, “The last few years this university has made modifications for facilities, tools and buildings in order to better assist those with special needs. This includes both hardware and software such as Zoom Text, the English and Chinese Audio Reading Device, Jaws for Windows, braille displayer, English/Chinese Impaired Vision device, and much more.”
