“It was a well-known fact at the time, in the ’90s, that physiotherapist was a profession for the blind.” – Experiences of physiotherapists with visual impairment.

Work is an essential part of everyone’s life. It frames our days, gives us income, and allows us to contribute to society. For persons with disabilities to go to work and do the work successfully, crucial circumstances need to be implemented. In this paper, I introduce the narratives of two Hungarian blind men, both physiotherapists. I mixed two qualitative methods to explore their experiences: I used the narrative life story interview and the Grounded Theory. I seek answers to the following questions: What motivated the narrators to choose physiotherapy as a profession? Is there a connection between rehabilitation and further education in the narrators’ stories? If so, what is it? In my investigation, I concluded that they chose physiotherapy as a profession because it was an obvious choice based on their information. My research has led me to conclude that rehabilitation played a crucial role in both of their narratives regarding their profession choices.

Abstract

Work is an essential part of everyone’s life. It frames our days, gives us income, and allows us to contribute to society. For persons with disabilities to go to work and do the work successfully, crucial circumstances need to be implemented. In this paper, I introduce the narratives of two Hungarian blind men, both physiotherapists. I mixed two qualitative methods to explore their experiences: I used the narrative life story interview and the Grounded Theory. I seek answers to the following questions: What motivated the narrators to choose physiotherapy as a profession? Is there a connection between rehabilitation and further education in the narrators’ stories? If so, what is it? In my investigation, I concluded that they chose physiotherapy as a profession because it was an obvious choice based on their information. My research has led me to conclude that rehabilitation played a crucial role in both of their narratives regarding their profession choices.
