Disability is a major public health issue • 567 Million healthy life years lost per year • The poorest countries in the world share the highest disability burden • Information paradox: The least information for countries with greatest need I.R.C.C.S. "E. Medea" - Ass. La Nostra Famiglia Polo Veneto
UN convention • Preamble e): Recognizing that disability is an evolving concept and that disability results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others, Art :1Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others I.R.C.C.S.

La legge 68/99 e il collocamento mirato Basic Principles Introduction of the concept of targeted employment Balanced ripartition for the productive system of the law requirements APPLICATION OF THE TOOLS PROVIDED BY THE CONVENTION BENEFIT ASSIGNEMENTS PROPORTIONALLY TO THE DISABILITY SEVERITY OF THE WORKER DEFINITION OF AD HOC NATINAL AND REGIONAL BUDGETS FOR THE LAUNCH OF PROGRAMS AIMED AT THE TARGETED EMPLOYMENT I.R.C.C.S. "E. Medea" - Ass. La Nostra Famiglia Polo Veneto
The definition of targeted employment Disability is not the only factor taken in account For “targeted employment” of persons with disability it is meant, according to the point 2 of the L. 68/99 “the complex of technical tools and support that will allow an appropriate evaluation of the persons with disability in their job capacity and their placement in an adequate job setting, through the analysis of the type of jobs, the forms of support, the positive actions and problem solving connected to the environment, the instruments, the interpersonal relations in the everyday work and relation milieu.” INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS WORKER ENVIRONMENT INSTRUMENTS I.R.C.C.S. "E. Medea" - Ass. La Nostra Famiglia Polo Veneto
The personalized projects The right job for the right person……… The new concept introduced by the law 68/99 requires the structuration and use of a set of tools to achieve the encounter between individual competences of the person with disability and the characteristics of the work place, in order to define the personalized project. That means the contribution of a multiplicity of techincal subjects (offices for the employment, medical cmmissions, each with is own competence. I.R.C.C.S. "E. Medea" - Ass.
