Fr-ee Press Photo eJob-s needed fior disabled -AÂ recent study conducted in Durham Region by the Ontario March of Dîmes shows there is a nbed- for more employment opportunities for adulte with physical disabilities. 0f the 232 physically disabled adults who were interviewed, only 22 per cent were employed. Most respondente stressed the need for more education and trainng. 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 per cent of the respondents left previous jobs because cf their disabff.ity. Close te 86 per cent of the respondente were not seekçing 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 Sept. 22, was the culmination cf six months of interviewing by the Ontario March cf Dîmes. The findings, which were presented by Andria Spindel, executive director cf the Ontario March cf Dîmes, will help Durham community services personnel te, understand the main concemns and neecis of their clients. Many cf the recommendations cf the study focus on the need te develop a vocational assessment program, training pregrams and placement services.- However, these initiatives would have te, include arrangements for attendant care and additional means of transportation. Most respondents felt that lack cf attendant care and poor transportation systems added te the high unempîcyment rate among disaleled adulte. The Ontàrio March cf Dîmes has been woÃ"rking for many years te ensure1 independent and meaningful ilives for adults with physical disabilities in Ontario. The Ontario March cf Dîmes concentrates 90 per cent cf its funcis on three major services which include independent living assistance, assistive devices and empîcyment services. With the study complete, it is hoped that some of the recommendations will be made a reality in the region, and this would ensure competitive empîcyment for persons with physical disabilities in the community.
