Assessing employment needs of bulgarian youths with intellectual impairments.
This paper illustrates how the Model of Human Occupation provided a conceptual framework to inform the development of a work-related program for Bulgarian youths with intellectual impairments who are also socially disadvantaged. The paper describes the process of conducting a needs assessment guided by this model. Information was gathered on participants from the target group to create a holistic profile of their strengths and challenges/barriers. This information, in turn, was used to identify key needs which will guide next steps in program development.
