[Self-assessment of facility-based supports for persons with intellectual disabilities and children with motional disabilities].

To improve the support provided at facilities for persons with intellectual disabilities and children with motional disabilities, the author designed a questionnaire to be used for self-appraisal by the personnel of the relevant facilities. Twenty-one facilities participated; these facilities indicated that they needed to improve grievance procedures, the protection of privacy, staff training and collaborations with physicians, though they judged themselves to be able to respond appropriately to requests from individual users. Facilities for children answered that they supplied satisfactory supports, though other facilities such as workshops and community homes did not put regulations on staffs' abuse in statutory form. Grievance procedures and discussion with users are necessary to supply support based on needs of individual users.
