Outline of Final Research Achievements	The research was conducted in three research groups: the Research Group on Residential Visiting Advocacy with Disabled Children,with Disabled Adults and with Severely Mentally and Physically Impaired People. In the first group, case studies revealed that advocacy support promoted the empowerment of children and could lead to their transition to the community and subsequent independent living. In the second group, it became clear that, beyond advocacy as a idealtypus, the question of how to be a co-worker in the limited human relationships of the residents, which are born out of the connections between individuals who come to see each other on a regular basis, needs to be addressed. In the last group, the importance of honesty about not knowing, but also putting it in brackets and moving on and standing on an inter-personal and relational rather than an individualistic view of human beings became clear.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	入所施設における障害児者の権利擁護は「地域社会で生活する平等の権利」の実現を志向して行われなければならない。にもかかわらず、日本においては地域移行が進んでおらず、障害児施設を退所した子どもの多くが成人施設に移行することを余儀なくされている。このような状況の中で、地域移行を志向する施設訪問アドボカシーにより、障害児者のエンパワメントが促進され、地域移行とその後の自立生活につながる可能性があることが明らかになったことは社会的及び学術的な成果である。またこれまで未開拓であった、意思能力に大きな性格がある重症心身障害者への訪問アドボカシーをめぐる問題の所在を明らかにしたことも学術的な意義がある。
