- Summary:
-
This companion document designed to provide employers with basic information, understanding, and facts regarding the employment capabilities of handicapped persons; five other companion documents; and an inservice guide comprise a series developed for assisting disabled persons in their transition from school to work. An introduction presents information regarding common misconceptions held by society relative to employment of the handicapped, legislation affecting the employment of handicapped individuals, and hiring of handicapped workers. The next section provides an overview of these handicapping conditions: blindness/visual impairment, deafness/hearing impairment, orthopedic impairment (multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy), mental retardation, learning disabilities, and other health impairments (epilepsy, mental illness). Three other brief sections address supervising handicapped employees, architectural needs/criteria, and work station adaptation. A bibliography concludes the document. (YLB)
