title: [The issues of the medical social rehabilitation of the handicapped persons of able-bodied age].
abstract: Among the medical social and economic problems having important universal public significance, a particular place belongs to the issues of the disability and the organization of care of persons with limited physical and mental possibilities. The Nijhny Novgorod oblast experience of work with the handicapped persons demonstrates that in the large-scale industrial region the level of disability is rather high with the neatly marked tendency to increase. The need for the professional education and further employment assistance is quite meaningful among the handicapped persons of able-bodied age. To meet this demand is possible only on the way of the development of the system of professional rehabilitation on the oblast level. The most appropriate conditions for the professional rehabilitation of the young handicapped persons are established in the special-purpose professional specialized schools where the rehabilitation divisions are deployed. This approach allows to work effectively on the implementation of the individual programs of handicapped persons rehabilitation and in that way to provide a higher level of social security of the students (i.e. higher scholarship, free-of-charge meals and medical services). In the city of Nijhny Novgorod specialized boarding school for the handicapped persons a system of activities is developed to enhance the social adaptation including the blocks of labor and everyday life adaptation and practical work training.
