Advances in technology have greatly broadened the range of occupational opportunities available to persons with disabilities. While technical devices help in making participation in computer-based work functions possible, a variety of strategies are required to help individuals with special needs prepare for, acquire, & maintain employment. The experience of the Centre for Adaptive Computer Education, a vocational training programme for adults with disabilities, highlights several strategies that have proven effective in helping persons with disabilities to access work training & employment. Techniques used embrace a number of structural & behavioural approaches to training, including extended training time, individualized curricula, individual tutoring, stress management training, behaviour management, supportive counseling, & promotion in the workplace.
