In Crimea, people with disabilities are taught independent life and work

Social adaptation programs in Crimea help people with disabilities acquire independent life skills and find employment. This was told on the air of Radio Crimea by the head of the department of control over the provision of stationary social services of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Crimea Olga Chinilova.

According to her, the wards of institutions live in specially equipped rooms, where, under the supervision of social workers, they learn to cook, shop and perform other household tasks. Some of them are already working in the institutions themselves. For example, 12 people are employed in the Belogorsk boarding school, and they receive the money earned into their accounts.

Olga Chinilova said that lonely people with severe disorders usually come to institutions. Some come from medical organizations, others lived at home, but were left alone and had nowhere else to go. With the help of cultural events and the work of psychologists, organizers and labor instructors, specialists identify the potential of wards.
