Employment as Indicator of Successful Rehabilitation[edit | edit source]
Economic independence and social integration are themes that rank highly among people with Cerebral Palsy as long-term objectives for rehabilitation. Young people with Cerebral Palsy who are currently enrolled in school rank getting a job as top priority and adults with Cerebral Palsy list work and independent economic life as two of the most important life domains related to health & well-being [1]. Employment is very often the way in which individuals define themselves in society and are an important means of participating in society. As life expectancy and functional capacity of people with Cerebral Palsy increases, so does the need for inclusion into the workforce.
Improved participation is often the philosophical long term goal of rehabilitation not only for people with Cerebral Palsy but also for many health professionals who work with them. To work towards this aim, it is therefore important for health professionals to be aware of the facilitators and barriers faced by people with Cerebral Palsy to participate actively in the workforce and to provide appropriate support to strive towards economic independence and social integration.
