Abstract

The signing of the Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities has heated up the discussion for ratification in this country, and at the same time, the Reasonable Accommodation (RA) spelled out in the convention has gotten a great deal of attention in Japan (Nagase et al. 2008). It is essential for ratification of this convention to define a standard on what constitutes "reasonable accommodation" (or where it ends). In addition, the characteristics of disabilities should be considered in setting this standard because accommodation regarded as reasonable will differ depending on the characteristics of particular disabilities. I am drawing on the characteristics and problems found in the actual operation of RA provisions for people with psychiatric disabilities by reviewing trial records in America, showing what type of RA is needed and what kinds of issues for effective operation of RA provision are involved for persons with psychiatric disabilities.
