 note = {The efforts of recent policy reform in Japan were analyzed and nine outcomes were extracted. The reform was carried out to harmonize existing laws with the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities before its ratification. The reform process was characterized by substantial participation of persons with disabilities and their family members.
The products of the reform include: (1) establishment of Policy Monitoring System involving DPO participation, (2) enactment of advocacy legislations, (3) expansion of legal definition of persons with disabilities, (4) resolution of the issue of uncovered population in the national disability survey, (5) development of ideas in disability laws, (6) employment of “social model view” in policy, (7) ratification of Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, (8) five “compass” documents for disability policy, and (9) stronger tie among DPOs.
However, serious gaps still exist between disability policy and legislations and the Convention, and further development is needed.},
