Abstract | The evaluation and placement of rehabilitation clients has been problematic. In addition to physical and emotional problems, these individuals suffer from a variety of unique handicaps. With this in mind, a program was developed to assess the present abilities and future potential of such a client to perform certain work tasks. Subjects were public assistance recipients who expressed interest in receiving vocational assistance. The program was generally seven weeks long during which time the client had the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of work tasks. Through the use of work modules designed to simulate work activities in entry level jobs, such qualities as judgement, perseverence, coordination, and dexterity could be observed by the trained evaluators. In addition, the program was designed to simulate real work settings where clients were expected to follow normal work routine. Followup data and client reaction indicate that the program has been productive in aiding high risk clients in assessing their present ability to perform in a competetive job market. (Author/HMV) |
