Abilities and requirements profiles: a tool to facilitate reintegration of people with disabilities into employment.
An attempt has been made to construct tools that can be applied for assessment of a disabled individual's residual abilities, and of the requirements of a job for which that person might be considered. The system is based on 63 attributes, which are graded on a 4-point scale. Initial tests revealed 90-95% correspondence between independent assessments. Although more detailed assessment tests are under way, the approach does offer a means for rough preselection of disabled candidates for jobs appropriate to their residual abilities.
