Vocational training

Persons with mental retardation can learn different vocational and can be employed. However there is attitudinal barrier, a common tendency to under estimate the capabilities of these people. Potential jobs can be manual, unskilled or semi-skilled, depending on the capabilities of the individual. It should be remembered that such gainful occupation is not only possible but also helpful for the mental health, self-satisfaction, and social status of these individuals.
