The “mobile vocational training center” - offers for recognized refugees
People with visual impairment and/or blindness
Listen to this article:
Learning the language of the respective country is the fundamental basis for successful and long-term integration. Language courses are offered in group format and are designed for the sighted.
But what if I am blind or severely visually impaired? Then, in addition to the necessary language acquisition, which is no longer possible, there are other problems that have arisen due to the disability. Learning new working methods in order to receive information independently and to be able to process it then becomes another central challenge in addition to learning the spoken language.
Without language acquisition, training in the necessary blind technical working methods can therefore only be carried out in the native language so that knowledge can be imparted efficiently. Therefore, there is need for action in two successive steps:
- Learning the necessary working methods for the disability
- Learning the local language.
The local individual offer is designed for people with a migration background and/or refugees with a visual impairment or blindness. A different approach is being developed in which the necessary working methods - basic blind technology techniques - are learned in advance in the clients’ respective native language.
As a basis for long-term, successful integration, the accompanying measure of learning and converting the working methods to blind techniques in the mother tongue is a necessary basis for further measures, such as the necessary participation in integration courses to learn the German language, as well as to obtain a training or job. Only if the language is mastered is professional participation possible and only both together enable long-term integration.
The aim is to develop an individual training concept for learning the necessary working methods for people with disabilities based on their own personal starting point and then to test it in practice. The results can then be used to offer to target groups and to provide needs-oriented recommendations that can lead to faster and more efficient integration. This is not a linguistic integration measure but a preparatory measure in the sense of social legislation.
