The purpose in writing this paper is to describe the service system for handicapped students of the University of the Air. There are two concepts involved in this system : distance education, and life long education. Distance education of the visually handicapped is addressed not only in terms of space and time, but, also, it is discussed in those which encompass the socio-structural alienation of the handicapped in the traditional education systems. The paper suggests ways in which the handicapped may be accommodated. Further, due to the rapid growth of the elderly in Japan, a service system for the handicapped also means service to the elderly. Therefore, the basic plan for the entire service program should be restructured. The paper describes the situation of handicapped students in the University of the Air with focus particularly on the visually handicapped. Through a system of lectures via television and radio programs, help is being provided to those students. Results of the study are presented in the following manner: 1) Historical background of higher education for the visually handicapped and the present situation. 2) The service system of other universities. 3) The service system for handicapped students at the University of ohe Air. 4) Individual interviews with visually handicapped students at the University of the Air discussing how to improve service.
