Vocational activation and employment of persons with rare and multiple disabilities

Summary/Abstract: The situation of persons with rare and multiple disabilities is difficult, especially in the field of their psychosocial functioning. Their participation in social life, as well as vocational and social activity, are still rated unsatisfactory. Additionally, for many years individuals with rare diseases have remained outside the main thrust of health and social assistance systems. The paper discusses the main directions of actions recommended in the European Union directives, including obliging member states to draw up programs and to undertake the concrete actions applying to rare diseases, with special emphasis laid on the situation in Poland. Also, the paper discusses chosen activation measures for people with rare and multiple disabilities, realized by the projects of State Fund for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities.
