Remember, November 1 Canad Employment is main concern for disabled A recent study conducted in the Regional Municipality of Durham by the Ontario March of Dimes, illustrated the need for more employment opportunities for adults with physical disabilities. Of the 232 physically disabled adults who were interviewed, on- ly 22 percent were employed. Most respondents stressed the need for more education and training. For most disabled adults, the severity of their disability had a greater impact on unemployment than the level of education. The study indicated that 65 percent of the respondents left previous jobs because of their disability. Close to 86 percent of the respondents were not seeking work because of their disability and felt there was no opportunity to develop new careers. The study, which was released at a presentation in Oshawa on September 22, 1989 was the culmination of six months of in- terviewing by the Ontario March of Dimes. The findings, which were presented by Andria Spindel, Executive Director of the Ontario March of Dimes, will help the Durham Community Services personnel in understanding the main concerns and needs of their clients. Many of the recommendations of the study focus on the need for developing a vocational assess- ment program, training pro- grams, and placement services. However, these initiatives would all have to include arrangements for attendant care and additional means of transportation. Most respondents felt that lack of atten- dant care and poor transportation systems added to the high unemployment rate among disabled adults. The Ontario March of Dimes has been working for many years to ensure independent and mean- ingful lives for adults with physical disabilities in Ontario. The Ontario March of Dimes con- centrates 90 percent of its funds on three major services which in- clude independent - living assistance, assistive devices and employment services. With the study complete, it is hoped that some of the recommendations will be made a reality in the Regional Municipality of Durham, and this would ensure competitive employment for per- sons with physical disabilities in the community.
