THE PROBLEM
The problem is integration and remaining of the disabled in the labour market. All the institutions help disabled separately one from the other and feel responsibility for their socialization and integration only in their own narrow segment of the activity. But efforts of the separate institutions can not assure real help for the disabled, because only through the creation of the model of an open cooperation, where efforts, knowledge and competences of separate partners are mobilized, could social support for disabled be given.
