HENRYK RUSZCZYC AND HIS CONCEPT OF VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION FOR BLIND PEOPLE
Journal Title: Szkoła Specjalna - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Rehabilitation, understood as a process of comprehensive intervention, includes vari-ous points of reference. One of these points of reference is the area of improving the func-tioning of individuals with disabilities through work and vocational training, i.e. voca-tional rehabilitation. It points to the need of preparing a person with a disability for work and creating appropriate conditions for him or her to take up a job (with emphasis placed on his or her psychophysical predisposition and vocational qualifications). It was thanks to Henryk Ruszczyc that people with disabilities recognized the importance of rehabilita-tion through work. In the fields of the education and psychology of people with visual impairments, he worked for the welfare of blind people, for their social and vocational support; he was a carer for blind adolescents in the Center for the Blind in Laski. This paper centers on H. Ruszczyc’s vocational rehabilitation for people with visual impairments carried out in the context of social activity and within employment. To ana-lyze his achievements, the scope of such support for blind people needs to be researched, and the educational and rehabilitative consequences it entails need to be determined.This article presents Ruszczyc’s intensive search for new forms of employment for blind people, and experiments that demonstrated the range and possibilities of blind peo-ple’s work and made it possible to develop the best forms and methods of training in the wide range of professions and trades available to people with visual impairments.
