Working competences in persons with physical disabilities, coming out from IRI - Santiago Children Rehabilitation Institute between 1990 and 1991. First part
Abstract
In 1995 the Vocational Orientation and Work Integration Program of the Institute de Rehabilitation de Santiago (Children Rehabilitation Institute of Santiago) revised the files of patients that were discharged from the Institute, between the years 1990 and 1991 due to reaching the limit age of acceptance of 18 years. From this a group classification was made according to three variables: independence level, qualifications and cognitive level. A job prognosis was assigned to each of these groups which was called "work capability". The ones with the best prognosis were independent in self care, had finished high school or superior education and didn't have cognitive damage.
After ten years a follow up was done to find out about the current situation of these people.
The purpose of this study is to contribute in the creation of action strategies for the Vocational Orientation and Work Integration Program and to be baselines for early intervention in children and their families to achieve the final purpose of rehabilitation: full integration in society.
This study was designed in two parts according to the main goals. The first part was made as a quantitative study and the second part as a qualitative study. This article presents the results of the first part.
