A comparative study on residential facilities for persons with mental retardation

1993年的第一个项目是澄清日本智力迟钝者住宅的特点，这是由两名外国合作研究人员进行的，他们是美国俄亥俄州州立大学的亨利·利兰博士和瑞典斯德哥尔摩县智力障碍委员会的拉尔斯·莫兰德先生。这是通过邀请Leland博士和Molander先生于9月13日至9月26日访问日本，并通过专业人士的讨论介绍爱知县的多种住宅服务来实现的。18日在名古屋举行的有500人参加的学术研讨会也有助于阐明日本服务业的特点。研究项目代表渡部宽司先生主持了研讨会，小组成员包括利兰博士、莫兰德先生、最大的智力障碍协会爱知爱国者协会会长铃木峰康先生和该协会副会长松下义则先生。日本社会服务的特点如下。1.日本发展住宿服务业的时间差导致了中等规模住宿机构的迅速发展。2.日本精神发育迟滞者社区服务的实施需要具备两个条件，这两个条件促进了瑞典和美国的社区服务，第二个项目旨在澄清瑞典和美国为智力迟钝者提供社会服务的发展和想法，通过访问美国和与瑞典的合作研究员通信实现了这一目标。从大型隔离寄宿机构向社区服务机构的过渡，通过寄宿机构和社区之家的数量以及每种环境下的服务对象数量等数据得到了澄清。

The first project in 1993 is to clarify the characteristics of residential for persons with mental retardation in Japan by two foreign co-researchers, Dr.Henry Leland from the Ohio State University from the U.S. and Mr.Lars Molander from Stockholm County Board for intellectual handicaps from Sweden. This was accomplished by inviting Dr.Leland and Mr.Molander to Japan from the 13th of September to the 26th of September and introducing many kinds of residential services in Aichi Prefecture with discussion through professional persons. The academic seminar which was held on the 18th in Nagoya with 500 audiences also helped to clarify characteristics of services in Japan. Mr.Kanji Watanabe, the representative of the research project chaired the seminar with panelists of Dr.Leland, Mr.Molander, Mr.Mineyasu Suzuki, the president of Aichi Aigo Association, the largest association of mental retardation, and Mr.Yoshinori Matushita, vice president of the same association. The characteristics of social services in Japan are as follows. 1. The time discrepancy of Japan to develop the residential services caused the rapid development of medium sized residential institutions. 2. Actualization of community services for persons with mental retardation in Japan needs both of two conditions which promoted the community services in Sweden and the U.S., the district team developed in Sweden and case management developed in the U.S.The second project which aims to clarify the development and idea of the social services for persons with mental retardation in Sweden and the U.S. was achieved by visit to the U.S. and the correspondence with the co-researcher in Sweden. The transition from large, segregated residential institutions to the community services were clarified with data such as numbers of residential institutions and community homes with the number of clients in each setting.
