Dear colleagues,
There was an executive order from President Bush,
requiring full implementation of the Supreme Court's 1999 Olmstead
Decision, which I understand covers people with mental
disabilities.
My question is does this "mental disabilities" refer to
psychiatric disabilities or intellectual disabilities
(former mental retardation)?
Japanese media reported that this covers mainly
people with psychiatric disabilities and I am
wondering if this is correct.
