[On the vocational counselling of physically disabled young people--some remarks on the findings presented by E.-M. Weinwurm-Krause (author's transl)].
Hand in hand with the continuing development of vocational counselling for disabled young people went to updating and differentiation of vocational orientation material available to the disabled for preparing their choice of occupation. Increased attention had above all been paid to counselling of the thalidomide-affected. Their concerns, especially as regards assessment of aptitudes and inclinations, are particularly headed in vocational guidance, an instrument that had been defined more specifically in the late seventies. The vocational education centres must be considered an essential aid in the training of, particularly, the physically disabled as the required accompanying services (for medical, psychological and social educational care) can be made available here. By means of training regulations for the disabled, as provided for in the Vocational Education Act and the handicrafts ordinance, these training facilities for the disabled are also most readily in a position to make allowances in view of the nature and consequences of a disability, when this is held to be necessary by the vocational counselling service due to the professional opinions presented by psychologists and/or physicians. No rehabilitation measure can however be initiated unless the disabled young person and his or her parents consent.
