Career guidance services are not accessible to young people with disabilities in Moldova
Ninety percent of young people with disabilities in Moldova have never had access to career guidance services. Even so, most of them want to have a profession and be independent, informs Moldova 1.
Anghelina Jalbă from Falesti district suffers from locomotor disabilities. As a child, she wanted to become a physiotherapist. However, after several discussions with teachers and parents, she decided to choose a profession that could ensure her financial independence, namely the operator.
"I think this profession will help me in the future to have a job, to be able to work and to have an income. When I don't understand the lessons, I ask and the teacher approaches me so she can explain the material to me. It also gives me examples," said Angelina Jalbă, a resident of Falesti.
So, together with the teacher of economic and entrepreneurship education, she learned how to make a business plan, but also how to choose her profession taking into account her skills.
"We try to reach the child's heart so that we can know what abilities he possesses, in order to urge him towards the appropriate field. We first identify the abilities of children with disabilities with some questionnaires and last but not least we have that direct conversation with the parents ", mentioned Tatiana Drobnenchi, teacher.
"As a parent, I talked to Anghelina several times and she had her dreams, like any child, but we talked about what she can do and what she likes. I identified that she likes to work on the computer and that she can do very well," said Ludmila Jalbă, mother.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics in the Republic of Moldova, there are over 174 thousand people with special needs.
