Abstract
Integration of people with disabilities to the labor market constantly remains in society as particularly timely, because employers are rather cautious about working abilities of people with disabilities. The physical environment is still not enough adapted, also there are left legal gaps. People with disabilities can not evaluate their possibilities to enter into labor market. Professional and social integration concept of the last decades changed in particular. This was influenced by development of information technologies, which allows redefining work and workplace concept. This article examines the professional and social integration issues of people with disabilities that are relevant to capacity of professional assessment and follow-up care institutions. This article is oriented to case aspects of the people with physical disabilities.
