Abstract

The problem of hiring people with disabilities is a topical issue that concerns two sides - employers and people with disabilities. The quality of life of each person is directly related to the state of his employment in the labor market. For his socialization in society, the level of self-confidence they builds, and for the sense of completeness, the same criteria apply as for the quality of life, namely the presence of professional realization. The term "normalization", first used by Bengt Nirje (1982), is based on the idea of providing living conditions accessible to all people. These conditions are related to the equal participation in the life of society of all its members - with and without disabilities. Normalization requires certain economic conditions that allow any society to provide an accessible environment for people with special needs. Part of this process is providing jobs for people with disabilities, as well as creating new jobs that they could perform.
The publication presents the results of a survey for the level of professional realization of young people between 19-30 years with sensory impairments, made in connection with the National Research Program "Young Scientists and Postdoctoral Students" of the Ministry of Education and Science. The prepared questionnaire contains 14 questions, through which it aims to reveal the level of professional realization of young people with impaired vision and hearing impairment and the barriers they face when finding a employment.
