Description

This succinct and easily understandable guide to “sheltered” training practices exhibits methods and techniques for use with a variety of problems in any reha­bilitation workshop or activity center.

A practical work, the book reports re­search and provides models which can be integrated easily into almost any program, regardless of clients, staff, behavioral problems, or training objectives. All the techniques and equipment described by Sanders can be put to use easily and in­expensively, and each training project can be applied immediately to a wide variety of sheltered workshop problems.

A contribution to rehabilitation and rehabilitation psychology, an increasingly important segment of the helping profes­sions, this practical guide thus offers a solid base for developing an approach which will help sheltered workshops to become more effective tools for rehabili­tating the estimated more than five mil­lion handicapped persons in this country.
