noun
Act on Welfare of Mentally Retarded Persons
Official name of a Japanese law concerning welfare for persons with intellectual disabilities. Note that the English gloss uses outdated terminology; the law's name in Japanese has since been revised to 知的障害者福祉法 (Chiteki Shōgaisha Fukushi Hō) and later to 知的障害者総合支援法, reflecting modern terminology.
知的障害者福祉法は、知的障害者の自立と社会参加を支援するための法律です。
The Act on Welfare of Mentally Retarded Persons is a law to support the independence and social participation of persons with intellectual disabilities.
This is the current name of the law, which replaced 知的障害者福祉法. It provides comprehensive support for persons with intellectual disabilities.
Compound of 知的 (intellectual), 障害者 (person with a disability), 福祉 (welfare), and 法 (law). The term is a formal legal designation.
