A comprehensive package of tools has been developed that aids in increasing the professional activity of persons with significant disabilities. The package includes personal assistant services, transport services, a medical care and rehabilitation model for the disabled, as well as a professional activation module for carers of the disabled. The deliverable allows to overcome the existing barriers in access to the labour market, encountered by the disabled and by their unemployed carers (potential teleworkers).
moreThe result, to be implemented by local social services, will contribute to the growing effectiveness of assistance activities and change of their profile. Implementation of the method requires active social work, psychological support and assisting families in their attempts to solve problems of various types. Thanks to the initiative the beneficiaries, so far using only passive forms of social assistance (allowances, assistance in kind) will be motivated to undertake more intensive social activities, supplement their qualifications and take paid employment.
