Craft techniques in conductive education to support the employment of persons with mobility impairments
Abstract
The purpose of conductive education is to enable disabled people to work and to lead an active, meaningful and independent life. Our conductors are constantly working to achieve this goal, as we cannot overlook the fact that the young people who have completed our schools have several decades of active years ahead of them. In addition to my work in the conductor training, I consider it my priority to help our pupils learn as much as possible about the job opportunities available and develop the manual skills that can help them get to work.I focused my attention on two areas, the first of which is the monitoring of the professions facing our pupils. In the conductor training, we introduce new procedures and try them out continuously during teaching practices.The second is to get to know the inclusive workplaces available in order to get a realistic picture of the job opportunities facing our pupils. In addition to workshops and interviews, my research also involved gathering international experiences and data from institutions.In my article, I will give examples of collaborative workshops, employment organizations. It became clear that within the András Pető Faculty it would be difficult to carry out a multi-professional training course on its own. Success requires the involvement of collaborative institutions with an educational team and workshop. I also believe that our students in Pető will be much more successful if they are given more manual activities at primary school. Examples will be shown in my article.The most important element will be the day care in our institution. In doing so, within the framework of development employment, 10-12 people with disabilities can work together, preparing them for employment.
