People with disabilities need to believe in themselves, to know how to find a job that suits their
abilities, to know about their rights and how to get support and assistance from different
organisations. This will help them overcome their barriers and find a job and even start their
own business.

Nowadays, many courses are available online, just as many companies and shops also operate
online, as well as many official matters can be handled without leaving home. There are also
special programs to make it easier for the blind to work at the computer. State support provides
opportunities to ensure adequate working conditions.

- Obstacles for learning

• restrictions on movement or communication,

• not all buildings are adapted to the needs of disabled people,

• lack of access to appropriate tools to facilitate education (specialised equipment,
programmes),

• fear of discrimination,

• lack of self-confidence and skills, resulting in a lack of active participation in the training,

• difficulties in group work due to low self-esteem.

- Tips for the educator

• adapting the technique of conducting classes to the abilities and needs of disabled people,

• show high empathy,

• encouraging (not forcing) active participation in classes,

• treat all learners equally,

• motivation to act,

• demonstrating different possibilities,
