ISHIKAWA, Mariko

My project promotes the cognitive rehabilitation for the elderly through the verbal reading and computations. The elderly in the community near the university area are mainly focused. As a management committee member, I give the assistance to the elderly from the different approaches including providing the community supporters and conducting the capacity building of those community supporters.
Recently, the project area has been expanded to communities outside the university in a cooperation with the Kita ward administrative and the Sakyo ward Community　Care and　Prevention Promotion Center in the Kyoto city and others.
