TFRD has cooperated with Taiwan Organization for Disadvantaged Patients to advocate for “College Seeding Program for Rare Disorders” since 2012.
As the education rights for the stuednts with disability had been recognized and supported by the public, more and more patients with rare disorders are now pursuing higher degrees. However, despite the availability of physical facilities and resources, patients still face various difficulties in gaining admissions, transitioning, and adjusting to the new school life. In order to assist the graduates with rare disease who plan to enter workplace in the future to step onto the employment track, TFRD joined hands with Taiwan Organization for Disadvantaged Patients in 2017 to hold two "learning lectures on rare disease employment" with the attendance of 84 patients. TFRD will continue to collect the experiences and advices from patients and pay attention to issues about their right to education. The goal of TFRD is to bring the issues to the attention of the government and push it to implement patient’s right for education.
