Abstract:

Objective: This paper reports on a study designed within the framework of the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing to: estimate the prevalence of psychoses in urban areas of Australia; identify profiles of symptomatology, impairments and disabilities; collect information on services received and needed; and explore quality of life issues in a broadly representative sample of people with psychotic illnesses. Method: The study was conducted over four areas in the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, as a two-phase survey: (i) a census and screening for psychosis of all individuals who made contacts with mental health services during a period of 1 month in 1997; and (ii) interviews with a stratified random sample (n = 980) of the screen-positive individuals (n = 3800) using a standardised instrument. Results: The point prevalence (1 month) of psychotic disorders in the urban population aged 18–64 is in the range of 4–7 per 1000 with a weighted mean of 4.7 per 1000. People with psychotic disorders experience high rates of functional impairments and disability, decreased quality of life, persistent symptoms, substance-use comorbidity and frequent side effects of medication. Although the utilisation of hospital-based and community mental health services, as well as of public and non-governmental helping agencies, is high, the majority live in extreme social isolation and adverse socioeconomic circumstances. Among the many unmet needs, the limited availability of community-based rehabilitation, supported accommodation and employment opportunities is particularly prominent. Conclusions: The so-called ‘low-prevalence’ psychotic disorders represent a major and complex public health problem, associated with heavy personal and social costs. There is a need for a broad programmatic approach, involving various sectors of the community, to tackle the multiple dimensions of clinical disorder, personal functioning and socioeconomic environment that influence the course and outcome of psychosis and ultimately determine the effectiveness of service-based intervention.

Abstract:

Objective: This study was undertaken to establish the perceptions of psychiatrists regarding the care of people with intellectual disabilities. Method: A 28-item self-administered questionnaire was developed, piloted and sent on two occasions to 467 psychiatrists who receive the newsletter of the Victorian branch of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. The questionnaire incorporated a Likert scale to document the opinions of the respondents. Results: A response rate of 51.1 % was achieved. The respondents indicated that, in their opinion, people with intellectual disabilities receive a poor standard of care in the inpatient and community setting. To improve this situation, the following strategies were recommended: the development of improved liaison between services; improved training for all personnel who provide services to people with intellectual disabilities; the development of greater resources; and support for professionals working in the area. The study also indicates that there is a core group of very interested psychiatrists who are currently practising and that people with intellectual disabilities are accessing private psychiatric services. In addition, the results suggest that diagnostic overshadowing is not a major barrier to psychiatric assessment, and that disorders which were presumed to be commonly overlooked by doctors (such as depression) are in fact frequently being diagnosed. Conclusions: Despite some positive findings, the majority of psychiatrists who responded held major concerns about the situation of people with intellectual disabilities. To improve the care provided to these people, it is recommended that these concerns are addressed by the psychiatric profession and responsible government departments in conjunction with university departments of psychiatry.

Abstract:

As more people with psychiatric disabilities seek postsecondary education opportunities to improve their employability and to eventually earn wages averaging higher than those without collegiate experience, institutions of higher education throughout the United States are seeing significant increases in the enrollments of this population. The State-Federal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services program continues to serve as a valuable resource for people with disabilities who attend colleges and universities across the nation. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was used to determine the effectiveness of VR services for people with psychiatric disabilities who also received college and university training. The Rehabilitation Services Administration 911 database for fiscal year 2006 was used to identify nine services related to the successful closure of this group of consumers. Results are discussed in relation to their importance for rehabilitation counselors.

Abstract:

Technical means of rehabilitation (TMR) include special devices and mechanisms are intended to compensate or completely eliminate persistent disabilities in individuals with limited physical and mental capabilities and aimed at normalizing physical and work activity. They include special means for self-care and care, means for orientation in space, devices for communication and information exchange, materials for training and education, as well as devices for engaging in work activities. Rehabilitation equipment also includes all types of prostheses, orthopedic shoes and special clothing, eye prostheses and hearing aids, special sports equipment and sport outfit, as well as mobility aids (wheelchairs). They all have a single purpose, which is to facilitate the daily life of handicapped people and people with disabilities. Provision of this category of persons with technical means of rehabilitation is carriedout on the basis of individual programs. Federal Law of November 24, 1995 No. 181-FZ “On the Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities in the Russian Federation” guarantees free provision of technical rehabilitation means at the expense of the federal budget to the disabled people [6] in the Russian Federation.

Abstract:

Background: Rehabilitation services are necessary for people with disabilities to improve their quality of life and be included in society. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the use of rehabilitation services among people with disabilities in Chile in 2015. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis of secondary data from Chile’s 2015 Second National Disability Study (ENDISC II) included people with disabilities aged ≥18 years. The dependent variable was the use of rehabilitation services in the previous year, and the exposure variables were sociodemographic and confounders. Poisson regression was used to determine associated factors, and prevalence ratios (PR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated. All results were weighted according to the ENDISC II complex sampling. Results: A total of 2610 people with disabilities were included, and 19.1% used some rehabilitation services in the previous year. Educational level (PR 0.43; 95% CI 0.25–0.75), having a mental illness (PR 1.77; 95% CI 1.44–2.18), and caregiver assistance (PR 1.57; 95% CI 1.25–1.97) were factors associated with the use of rehabilitation services. Conclusions: In 2015, one-fifth of people with disabilities in Chile used some rehabilitation services in the previous year. People with disabilities with lower educational levels were less likely to access these services. By contrast, people with mental illness and caregiver assistance were more likely to use rehabilitation services.

Abstract:

(1) Background: The exploration of the potential therapeutic benefits of scuba diving for the mental and physical health of people with physical disabilities. (2) Methods: The research was conducted on a group of 240 people (men and women) with physical disabilities, using the survey designed by one of the authors. The subjective sense of physical and mental fitness was analyzed in retrospective and real terms. (3) Results: Significant increases in self-esteem, belief in our own abilities (self-confidence) and improvement in the ability to engage in social interactions were observed in the group of scuba divers with disabilities compared to individuals with disabilities not practicing diving. The respondents also declared an improvement in the efficiency of the respiratory system and stressed that a water environment increased their motor skills and relieved pain. (4) Conclusions: Diving can become one of the forms of rehabilitation for people with disabilities. There is a need for further research to expand our understanding of the benefits and possible health problems involved in diving. These activities have a huge impact on improving the quality of life of people with disabilities.

Abstract:

ObjectiveTo determine whether employment outcomes of people with disabilities can be predicted by the social-cognitive/attribution theory of stigmatization.DesignEx post facto design using data mining technique and logistic regression analysis. Participants: Data from 40,585 vocational rehabilitation (VR) consumers were extracted from the Rehabilitation Services Administration Case Services Report (Form 911).ResultsIn Study 1, data mining results revealed that the most significant predictor of employment outcome was type of disability. Consistent with the social-cognitive/attribution theory of stigmatization, the employment rate of people with physical disabilities (68.5%) was found to be significantly higher than that of people with mental disabilities (56.6%). In Study 2, results from logistic regression analyses indicated that VR services could improve outcomes for subpopulations of people with disabilities with low employment rates.ConclusionEmployment outcomes of VR consumers were found to match the hierarchy of attitudes toward disability predicted by the social-cognitive/attribution theory. However, even with subpopulations with the lowest employment rates, VR services were found to improve employment outcomes.

Abstract:

Many individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) have a unique set of disabilities that interfere with their life goals. In addition, many of these people must also deal with another obstacle, the stigma associated with mental illness. The purpose of this paper is to address how this population has been stigmatized, both externally and internally. The focus will then be turned to psychiatric rehabilitation, an effective means of de-stigmatizing the lives of people with SMI.

Abstract:

The attitudes of education and rehabilitation students towards people with intellectual disabilities are very important, because they aim to be future professionals who will provide educational and rehabilitation treatment to these people, as well as advocates for their rights and needs. This study aimed to analyse the attitudes of students towards people with intellectual disabilities and to determine whether their attitudes differed based on self assessments and sources of knowledge about intellectual disabilities, ways of getting to know a person with intellectual disabilities, and number of years of education. The study involved 100 students undergoing their first cycle of studies at the Faculty for Special Education and Rehabilitation, University of Tuzla. The Mental Retardation Attitude Inventory-Revised (MRAI-R) and a general questionnaire were used in this study. The results show that students express positive attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities, they are positive about educational integration of these people, and respect their rights. They do not express to need to socially distance from them and do not attribute unfavourable characteristics to these people. There were no differences in attitudes based on self-assessments of knowledge and the sources of knowledge about intellectual disabilities, or the way in which they got to know a person with intellectual disabilities. There was a significant difference in attitudes based on the number of years of education: fourth-year students were observed to express the highest degree of positive attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities globally and towards the integration of these people in society, and they expressed the lowest level of social distance. Given the small sample of research subjects, as well as the fact that the study involved students of one education and rehabilitation faculty. in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the results obtained and the conclusions derived from them should be considered with caution. Future research should include a larger sample of education and rehabilitation students to verify the results obtained in this study.

Abstract:

People with severe psychosocial disabilities have a 20-years shorter lifespan due to chronic somatic comorbidities and the long-term consequences of the side-effects of antipsychotic drugs.They often are sedentary and show lower levels of physical activity, factors which can contribute to their shorter lifespan, because of the greater cardiovascular risk.An increasing amount of evidence, including clinical trials, pointed out that sport, physical activity and structured exercise programs improve physical and psychological wellbeing of people with psychosocial disabilities, playing also an important role against their social isolation and self-stigma.The NICE and APA guidelines include exercise and physical activity for the management of depressive symptoms.Safe and effective programs require multidisciplinary teams that should always include mental health professionals, able to recognize the psychosocial needs, the impact of symptomatology, the role of secondary effects of psychotropic medication, the effect of previous exercise history, the lack of motivation, the inexperience with effort intensity and the frustration of people with psychosocial disabilities.

Abstract:

Fuzzy parameter adaptation refers to an idea of adjusting parameters based on parameter deviation, deviation change rate and the relationship between the parameters. The PID control algorithm incorporates three algorithms: ratio, sigma, and lead. It is one of the most commonly used algorithms and has a wide range of applications. Embedded system is an application-centric computer system based on modern computer technology that can be flexibly dedicated according to user needs. Although it is convenient to use, it cannot perform large-scale operations and storage. This article aims to explore the role of fuzzy parameter adaptive PID algorithm in the rehabilitation of biomedical persons with disabilities. It is hoped that modern technology will be used to find a new direction for the rehabilitation of the disabled, so that the disabled can better survive in the society. This paper studies the existing classic real-time scheduling algorithms and traditional adaptive scheduling algorithms and analyzes their shortcomings when applied to embedded systems; when sorting out related concepts, clarified related concepts such as disabled persons, to provide tertiary level study for people at risk and higher education policies for persons with disabilities; it combines classic and fuzzy control to form fuzzy self-adaptation, realizes fuzzy self-adaptive control of the temperature value of high temperature sterilization, and improves the automation level of the system. The experimental results of this article show that 68 persons with disabilities need medical diagnosis, accounting for 52%; 15 persons with disabilities need physical correction, accounting for 12%; 29 persons with disabilities require acupuncture treatment, accounting for 22%; 18 persons with disabilities were in mental treatment, accounting for 14%; 57 people lost the ability to learn due to memory decline, accounting for 44%; 46 people were unable to learn due to physical disabilities, accounting for 35%; but there were still 17 people who were able to study normally, accounting for 13% of the total number of people surveyed; 10 people were unable to study due to other reasons, accounting for 8%.

AbstractThis is a systematic review of systematic reviews of secondary health conditions, health promotion interventions, and employment in people with intellectual disabilities. Articles were included if they reported a systematic review of health and employment, secondary health conditions, and health promotion interventions for people with intellectual disabilities. The methodological quality of the included reviews was reviewed using the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews quality rating system, a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews. Twenty-five systematic reviews were included. There was evidence that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) were at elevated risk for secondary health conditions, health promotion interventions can improve physical and mental health conditions, and employment is associated with better health-related quality of life. Health promotion intervention to help people with ID engage in health promoting behaviors can improve health and their ability to find and maintain employment.

Abstract:

To engage in the community and the workplace requires physical, mental, and social health and wellbeing. Health promotion is a crucial rehabilitation counselling function for the health and wellbeing of people living with chronic illness and disability (CID). This exploratory review seeks to examine theories and models of motivation applicable to health promotion interventions in rehabilitation counselling practice. Although no single theory can address all the potential variables affecting people with CID's health behaviours, Bandura's (1977) concept of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy appear to be the most common factors in the health promotion models we surveyed. Among theories of motivation, only self-determination theory specifically includes a motivation variable, autonomy (internal and external motivation). We developed a diagram to depict a model, including all the theories and models covered in this exploratory review and identify commonalities among their constructs. This diagram can be used by rehabilitation counsellors to apply theories and models of motivation in case conceptualisation, formulating clinical hypotheses, developing treatment plans, and selecting and implementing evidence-based health promotion interventions for their clients.

Abstract:

Abstract Garden therapy has been used in the world medical practice for many decades. There are many examples where human interaction with plants has a positive impact or facilitates the lives of various segments and groups of society: children, youth, elderly people, with mental health problems, people with disabilities, crime victims, patients with cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, mental health problems, drug addicts and alcoholics, combatants, victims of military or terrorist acts, etc. Garden therapy is the process of using plants and the garden to improve well-being through the effects on the mind, body and soul. Garden therapy combines gardening and rehabilitation and is a synthesis of landscape design, medicine and psychology. It can help work with different target groups: in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation and cancer centers, hospices, as well as other medical and residential complexes. Despite this, garden therapy is still not widespread in Ukraine and requires wider development. This is due to the general set of social and health problems, as well as regional problems of modern times, including the post-Chernobyl factor, the mass factor of post-traumatic stress disorders among the affected population of the temporarily occupied territories and the contingent of ATO participants. Undoubtedly, the urgent task today is to develop garden therapy programs for recovery from illness and combating the stressful effects of prolonged self-isolation during quarantine activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The article considers an example of creating a location for active garden therapy for visitors to the Center for medical and social rehabilitation services in Melitopol, Zaporozhia region.

Abstract:

The occurrence of psychiatric conditions among people 55 years and older ranges from dementia, cognitive disorders, depression/mood and anxiety disorders, to severe mental illness (i.e., schizophrenia, bipolar disorders) and substance abuse disorders. The National Institute of Mental Health (2009) identified depression as the major mental health concern for older citizens in general. Attention to the older vocational rehabilitation (VR) population with psychiatric conditions is relatively recent, and evidence suggests that middle-aged and older people with mental illness are understudied and underserved in the field of vocational rehabilitation. This article presents a description of the 50 to 69 year old cohort of persons with psychiatric conditions who were served by VR from 2002 to 2006 nationally as compared to North Carolina (NC) state VR data for the same period of time, discusses public funding for mental health treatment of this group and the role of health insurance parity, and addresses potential implications and needs for future research for this population.

Abstract:

Objective: While the process of social inclusion have promoted respect for the person with mental disability, the stigma against this individual is still very present in society, so that individual identified from their difference, now identified as being a weak, fragile and sometimes abnormal and identified as someone with a determination that can break barriers, even the difference. Considering that the social integration of individuals with disabilities still means a great challenge for society, this study sought to discuss issues related to targeted assistance to the population with mental disabilities within this integration process. The way society perceives and relates to people with disabilities is a repetition of the speech and behavior of its own professionals and programs involved in social integration and rehabilitation of these individuals.Conclusion: The educational institutions of human resources, and assistance programs aimed at the disabled, need to promote reflections on the densest kind of discourse and practices used in everyday life of these people and their families. They should not act based on rejudice.

Abstract:

The article theoretically substantiates the problems of social rehabilitation of people with disabilities in the conditions of a psychoneurological boarding school.Psychoneurological boarding schools are included in the general system of psychiatric care in Ukraine, thus they are institutions of the social sphere. Such institutions are intended for the residence of people with chronic forms of mental illness. Usually, these people are unable to live in a family and society due to lost or undeveloped abilities for self-care, self-sufficiency and productive communicative activity. The main goal of the psychoneurological boarding school is to steadily improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, to create a favorable therapeutic environment for them, adequate to their age, health and individual characteristics.The author found out that the special contribution of social work to the field of mental health in the world is that its focus is much wider than the medical model of individual diagnosis and treatment, and involves identifying and responding to social inequalities and structural problems, including using various methods of care and support for people with mental health problems. However, in Ukraine there are significant obstacles to using the potential of social work in the field of mental health, and a significant part of them is related to the understanding of the content of social work, the lack of necessary standards and the practice of involving social workers to work in health care institutions, while not the subject of research is the issue of rehabilitation in the conditions of a psychoneurological boarding school.The theoretical basis of the study consists of the basic provisions regarding the content of social rehabilitation of persons with disabilities through the prism of the activity of a psychoneurological boarding school.We see the prospects for further research in the development of scientific provisions on the structure of a psychoneurological boarding school in the context of departments for recipients of social services; practical experience of social rehabilitation of people with disabilities in the conditions of a psychoneurological boarding school.

Abstract:

People with disabilities make up a significant part of the human family, with estimates of their numbers ranging from the tens to the hundreds of millions worldwide. One highly regarded estimate places the number of significantly disabled individuals—people with serious hearing, vision, mobility, or cognitive impairments—as high as one in every ten persons. Nor are these impairments recent in origin. Any review of written or oral history, or archaeological skeletal population, large or small, allows us to identify many individuals for whom a physical or mental impairment played a significant role in daily life.

Abstract:

Responses were analyzed for a social distance scale and questionnaire regarding the attitudes of 106 Registered Occupational Therapists (OTRs) and 98 Certified Occupational Therapy assistants toward Registered OTRs who were hypothetically diagnosed as disabled according to 20 physical or mental disability categories. Results indicated that occupational therapy personnel generally had favorable attitudes toward peers with disabilities in a work situation, with the exception of peers who were specifically diagnosed with drug dependency problems and psychiatric disorders. Neither the length of time a professional had been practicing occupational therapy, nor the quantity or quality of contact with people who have disabilities affected the attitudes expressed. Implications of the results and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

Objective: The main aim of this study was to document the perceptions of trainee psychiatrists and psychiatric medical officers regarding the psychiatric care of people with intellectual disabilities. Method: A 28-item self-administered questionnaire was developed by the investigators and pretested on eight psychiatrists and psychiatric trainees. A revised version of the questionnaire was then sent to 128 psychiatric trainees and 27 medical officers working in the public psychiatric services in Victoria. 116 questionnaires were returned, and the responses analysed. Results: The results indicate a high degree of interest in the psychiatry of intellectual disability, however this was tempered by a feeling that the respondents and their senior colleagues are inadequately trained. The respondents expressed major concerns regarding the care of people with dual disabilities in the hospital and community setting, and significant support for the development of specialised units and subspecialisation within psychiatry. The major concerns which were identified would in part explain why 30% of the respondents felt that they would prefer not to treat people with an intellectual disability and a psychiatric disorder. Conclusion: We can only support the assertion made by the Burdekin Report [12] that “there is an urgent need for academic research, increased clinical expertise and substantial increased resources in the much neglected area of dual disability.”

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of gender and culture on attitudes toward people with psychiatric disabilities (PWPD). Two hundred and forty university students from Asian, Latino, and European American cultural backgrounds participated in the study. The Opinions about Mental Illness scale was used to measure attitudes, and the Level of Contact Scale was used to measure the covariant – contact with PWPD. A 2 (gender) x 3 (culture) MANCOVA was performed. Results indicated that female students in all three ethnic groups had more positive attitudes toward PWPD than did male students. Of the three ethnic cultural groups, European American students had the most positive view of PWPD, and Latino American students had the least positive view of PWPD. Implications of the results for rehabilitation counselors and researchers are discussed.

Abstract:

Background. The process of a comprehensive rehabilitation of the disabled person may be more complicated when the diagnosis becomes vague and uncertain. Unknown data about the patient’s past, mental, physical or vocational background, may cast a different light on the process. The patient’s diagnosis sometimes becomes an enigma. Using the model of Venn, the patient’s situation shifts from one circle to another. The only logical solution in these cases is to use the Occam’s Razor. Purpose. To draw the attention of rehabilitation medicine professionals to the problem of clients whose diagnoses are vague and uncertain and to share with the readers my personal thoughts on this topic. Methods. Reviewing literature and sharing with the readers the author’s 43 years of clinical experience in the field of rehabilitation medicine. Results and Conclusions. A PubMed query revealed 1479 articles with the words „diagnostic enigma”. The search term „diagnostic enigma in rehabilitation medicine” resulted only in four articles. In the long process of rehabilitation of disabled patients, some patients’ diagnoses change during the hospitalization phase and some diagnoses become unclear. The rehabilitation process becomes complicated and sometimes incomplete. Implications for Rehabilitation Medicine: 1. In most instances, patients are referred to rehabilitation medicine facilities with definite diagnoses. 2. The long process of a comprehensive rehabilitation of the disabled person may be more complicated when, prior to the discharge, the final diagnosis becomes vague and uncertain. 3. Facts about the patient’s past mental, physical or vocational background may cast a different light on the process. The patient’s diagnosis sometimes becomes an enigma.

Abstract:

Employment attitudes and mental health of long-term unemployed people with disabilities were investigated in a cross sectional study. During an interview, people selected themselves into four employment attitude groups, those who wanted employment (28%), those who were not able to work (35%), those who had alternatives to employment (30%) and those who were interested in training (7%). Mental health was assessed by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE). The results indicated that mental health was low with high distress and low self-esteem scores evident in the four groups. Implications for rehabilitation counselors are discussed.

Abstract:

Background People with disabilities need rehabilitation interventions to improve their physical functioning, mental status, and quality of life. Many rehabilitation interventions can be delivered electronically ("digitally") via telehealth systems. For people with disabilities in underserved areas, electronically delivered rehabilitation interventions may be the only feasible service available for them. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the current status of digital interventions for people with disabilities in remote and underserved areas. Methods A systematic review was conducted on this topic. Keyword searches in multiple databases (PubMed, CINAHL, and Inspec) were performed to collect articles published in this field. The obtained articles were selected based on our selection criteria. Of the 198 identified articles, 16 duplicates were removed. After a review of the titles and abstracts of the remaining articles, 165 were determined to be irrelevant to this study and were therefore removed. The full texts of the remaining 17 articles were reviewed, and 6 of these articles were removed as being irrelevant to this study. The 11 articles remaining were discussed and summarized by 2 reviewers. Results These 11 studies cover a few types of disabilities, such as developmental disabilities and mobility impairments as well as several types of disability-causing disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and facio-scapulo-humeral muscular dystrophy. Most of these studies were small-scale case studies and relatively larger-scale cohort studies; the project evaluation methods were mainly pre-post comparison, questionnaires, and interviews. A few studies also performed objective assessment of functional improvement. The intervention technology was mainly videoconferencing. Moreover, 10 of these studies were for people with disabilities in rural areas and 1 was for people in urban communities. Conclusions A small number of small-scale studies have been conducted on digital interventions for people with disabilities in underserved areas. Although the results reported in these studies were mostly positive, they are not sufficient to prove the effectiveness of telehealth-based digital intervention in improving the situation among people with disabilities because of the small sample sizes and lack of randomized controlled trials.

Abstract:

IntroductionSince the 1990's the main form of vocational rehabilitation centers in Poland were occupational therapy workshops (OTW), but the low ratio of the employment of the participants of OTW‘s led to the creation of newer, more effective institutions called Occupational Activation Centers (OAC). They were expected to be professional activity establishments, aimed at launching new career paths of people with intellectual disabilities, enabling the candidates to pass through various stages of rehabilitation and vocational activation.Materials and methodsThe analysis of available statistical data concerning the activity of OAC‘s in Poland was done.ResultsIn the whole country the number of these facilities is 53, while the number of occupational therapy workshops is 665. The Law on OAC‘s restricts the employment of people with moderate disability in total employment to 35%, this indicator covering not only the persons with mental retardation, but also people with autism and mental illness. In addition the OAC‘s activity generates the cost of creating them inadequate for the quantity and quality of jobs being created.ConclusionIt turned out that the creation of OAC‘s occurred too slowly in relation to the already operating OTW‘s and the weaknesses in the Polish system of rehabilitation and employment of people with intellectual disabilities necessitates the need to find innovative ways to solve this problem.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

Disability is part of human condition. The number of people with disabilities is growing. Every epoch has faced the moral and political issue of how best to include and support people with disabilities. This issue will become more acute as the demographics of societies change and more people live to an old age. There is a global increase in chronic health conditions such,as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders, which will influence the nature and prevalance of disability. Establishment of a complex rehabilitation system of disabled people is great challenge. It is to be understood as a versatile system of legal, medical, economical, organizational, etc., means, which helps people to regain their disturbed biopsyhosocial functions, compensate them and adapt them to society. The article further calls to organise, stengthen, and extend comprehensive rehabilitation services and programmes for disabled people, which should begin as early as possible, based on multidisciplinary assessment of individual needs and strengths, and including the provision of assistive devices and technologies.

Abstract:

The academic paper is devoted to studying the features of the attitude of teachers, parents, employers towards people from different social groups in need of social inclusion and rehabilitation. A survey of 120 people (40 primary school teachers, 40 parents of healthy children, 40 employees of the State Employment Service of Ukraine) was conducted on their attitude to people in need of social-psychological and social-labour rehabilitation. The survey was conducted in 2 stages. At the first stage, it has been found out whom exactly the respondents consider to be those who require social and psychological assistance and rehabilitation. In the second stage, a modification of the method of E. S. Bogardus has been applied in order to determine social distance. Teachers and parents believe that children with disabilities need rehabilitation, involvement in an inclusive school community and increased attention. Regarding the categories with other health disorders (ADHD and dysgraphia), the viewpoint of teachers is quite unanimous ‒ they know about these students and believe that they need above average teachers’ attention. However, while parents are aware of the presence of children with ADHD, they are almost unfamiliar with children with reading and writing disorders. Children with mental disorders, autism and ADHD have the greatest problems with integration into inclusive communities. They are ready to be perceived at the maximum social distance ‒ in a special school, in a boarding school, except sporadically on the playground. For employees of the employment service, the maximum social distance was for people with mental and psychological disorders. According to experts’ viewpoints, employers do not want to hire people with these disorders.
