The Comprehensive Support for Persons with Disabilities Act provides for the provision of welfare services for persons with disabilities, but there is an urgent need to establish networks for decision-making support and livelihood support. In Oregon, where this study was conducted, a network approach is being developed through a system called brokerage. In this study, we investigated the efforts in Oregon, North America, which enables people to live in the community regardless of their disability status, and explored its application to Japan.
In addition, we investigated the activities of brokering colleges in the context of the worldwide experience of self-restraint in order to prevent the spread of COVID19 infection. A core organization to support community living is essential, and ultimately, a website was created to publicize the results of this research.
