The need for support for students with disabilities in university, college, and technical college has been increasing. Any post-secondary institutes accepting students with disabilities are now required to develop appropriate learning environment for them. Reflecting this need, researchers in recent years are often focused on constructing supporting systems for those students.In this study, detailed contents and characteristics of supporting systems for students with disabilities are examined based on previous research on learning support for students with visual, auditory, and physical disabilities; these subjects were chosen since the number of the students receiving higher education and the supporting rate are both relatively stable. Also, some issues regarding constructing supporting systems are discussed. As a result, while accepting those students and gaining expertise, necessity of careful examination of the following issues is implied: organizing support desk and supporting group, acquirement of certain amount of volunteers, and development of employment support teams.
