Rehabilitation service

The service is divided into social and occupational rehabilitation.

The aim of social rehabilitation is to achieve living as independently as possible, acquiring education according to one’s abilities and competences necessary for work, participation in society according to one’s abilities, creating prerequisites for starting work according to one’s abilities. The aim of occupational rehabilitation is to increase a person’s ability to work and offer them a better chance of coping on the labour market. For example, you need help in improving movement skills, learning to use an auxiliary tool, solving psychological problems. It is also possible to get help from people who themselves have the same experience of disability in the family. The social rehabilitation service is organised by the Social Insurance Board and the receipt of the occupational rehabilitation service is organised by the Unemployment Insurance Fund.

What is a rehabilitation plan?

A rehabilitation plan is a written document drawn up with the active participation of a person himself or his legal representative.
It assesses the person’s ability to act, the need for personal assistance, guidance or supervision. It also indicates the activities necessary for the individual’s self-sufficiency and social inclusion.

By whom is a rehabilitation plan drawn up?

Reh. The plan is drawn up by a team of at least 3 people, including always a social worker. According to the needs of the person, the number of team members must be increased. When drawing up a rehabilitation plan, the following specialists are involved according to the needs of the person:

minor- always a special education teacher
a person with visual, auditory, speech impairment or mental disability- always a special education teacher, speech therapist or occupational therapist

Different specialists will assess your coping, ability to act and the need for different services. A goal is jointly set, what and how to change, and an action plan is drawn up. The action plan will set out the services you need and recommendations that you can follow to improve your future livelihoods.
