Die berufliche Teilhabesituation von Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten in unterschiedlichen beruflichen Kontexten

Employment is often denied to people with learning disabilities, yet it is central to their participation in society. The article focuses on the professional participation of people working in sheltered workshops, in companies co-operating with a sheltered workshop or in professional integration into the mainstream labour market, by determining their self-perceived satisfaction, motivation and competences.

The results show that study participants achieve high self-assessment values in the area of competences, whereby users of easy language at the workplace achieve higher levels in scattered areas of knowledge. The great importance of supervisors can be shown in their dominance as source of knowledge, and in a very high satisfaction with the supervisor, especially among employees in sheltered workshops. Regarding labour motivation, respondents do not differ from other workers and primarily mention the desire to earn money and enjoy their work.
