Abstract

The paper presents a specially developed technique for professional orientation in persons with disabilities, outlines determinants affecting the main research variables, and offers some methodological tips on the use of the technique basing on the most significant research data. Providing career guidance to people with disabilities is a priority task as professional self-determination and work socialization are extremely important for the disabled in modern society. The paper describes a process of developing a new methodology for measuring quantitative and qualitative features of vocational interests in high school students with disabilities. The recommendations provided focus on how to arrange effective analytic work aimed at rendering optimal training support to students of 11th classes with different types of disabilities.
