54. "A skill is something you learn. Talent is what you can’t help doing" –
Caroline Ghosn
Vocational Rehabilitation" is marketing a concept. Something akin to
"cleanliness“…
…Only difference is while the manufacturer can predict the life and
behaviour of their product, the Vocational Rehabilitation Worker (VRW)
can only vouch for the present…
…S/he cannot predict the future behaviour of the Persons with Disabilities
(PWD)- as the pwd is not a product - but a human being who grows and
instinctively reacts/ relates to the social and work environment and the
changes that follow…
…The VRW is conscious about it and assurances to the employers are
given realistically…
