Project "Rehabilitation guide"

Project Title

Practical handbook on methods in vocational rehabilitation

Abstract

On the basis of the research project " Individual life situations of rehabilitants: success aspects of the social and vocational rehabilitation "and based on the practical handbook on vocational orientation methods, another handbook has been developed which contains a large collection of vocational rehabilitation methods, which are more detailed described.

From the two preceding projects turned out that there is a strong need of the rehabilitation specialists in particular to document and more precisely describe these specific methods to be used in vocational rehabilitation. This seems fundamental also because there is hardly any further training for rehabilitation specialists, who are concerned with the vocational integration of rehabilitants in Austria.

Similar to the handbook for Vocational Orientation it is important that labour market oriented methods and tools to be described in detail. These methods will be related to professional and rehabilitative diagnostics, to potential analysis, to the development of vocational perspectives as a preparation for requalification, to job description and analysis, job assessment as well as methods of individual coaching of rehabilitants. This publication as well as the Vocational Orientation is a novelty in Austria.
