Rehabilitation of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities: from Evaluation to Recruitment

A qualitative research design was used to explore the experience of an institution for the rehabilitation and employment of people with disabilities in Riyadh. In addition to identifying the challenges the institution faces in achieving its goals. Data was collected through interviews and observations, with a sample of five vocational rehabilitation trainers, five parents of individuals with intellectual disabilities, and four individuals with intellectual disabilities. The results showed that the Vocational Rehabilitation Foundation used evidence-based practices to provide vocational rehabilitation services to individuals with intellectual disabilities. However, the study identified some challenges facing the rehabilitation process. The study recommended several suggestions to improve the vocational qualification of individuals with intellectual disabilities.
