Empowering Persons With Intellectual Disabilities Through Work/school Alternation: A Positive case study case study case study case study case study case study case study case study case study case study case study case study case study case study ca
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2019Co-Authors: Zappella EmanuelaAbstract:Entry into the world of work is an important moment for People with disabilities and for their professional inclusion. Using a case study, This research presents the project of school/work alternation carried out with a student with intellectual disability within a supermarket during the frequency of the last year in a higher institute in northern Italy. This study intends to describe the process and highlight the strategies used in this experience. The paper ends with an analysis of the factors that can favour a positive experience and which can be a starting-point for other, similar experiences. This experience shows that, with adequate Training, People with intellectual disabilities can be protagonists of an experience that favors their well-being and social inclusion.

An evaluation of the efficacy of Training People with learning disabilities in a virtual environment.
Disability and rehabilitation, 2002Co-Authors: B. M. Brooks, F. D. Rose, E. A. Attree, A. Elliot-squareAbstract:Purpose : To evaluate the efficacy of using a virtual kitchen for vocational Training of People with learning disabilities. Method : Twenty four catering students with learning disabilities participated in the study. Half the students were currently being trained in the kitchen on which the virtual kitchen was modelled but the remaining students were unfamiliar with this kitchen. Students were first pre-tested on four food preparation tasks and identification of 12 hazards in their own Training kitchens. They were subsequently trained on one food preparation task and three hazards in their own Training kitchens, one food preparation task and three hazards in the virtual kitchen, and one food preparation task and three hazards in specially designed workbooks. They were then retested in their own Training kitchens on all the food preparation tasks and all the hazards. Results : Virtual Training was found to be as beneficial as real Training and more beneficial than workbook and no Training in the food prepa...

An exploratory investigation into the usability and usefulness of Training People with learning disabilities in a virtual environment.
Disability and rehabilitation, 2002Co-Authors: F. D. Rose, B. M. Brooks, E. A. AttreeAbstract:Purpose : Two studies sought to answer the following questions. Are People with learning disabilities capable of using a virtual environment? Are they motivated to learn using this Training method? Do they show any benefit from using a virtual environment? Does any benefit transfer to improved real world performance? Method : In the first study, 30 students with learning disabilities were sequentially allocated to an active or a passive experimental group. Active participants explored a virtual bungalow searching for a toy car. Passive participants watched the exploration undertaken by the preceding active participant and searched for the toy car. All participants then performed spatial and object recognition tests of their knowledge of the virtual environment. In the second study, the errors of 45 participants on a real steadiness tester task were noted before they were randomly allocated to three groups--a real Training group, a virtual Training group and a no Training group. After Training, the partici...

HCI (16) - Innovative and Comprehensive Support System for Training People Working in Dangerous Conditions
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2019Co-Authors: Andrzej GrabowskiAbstract:The visuals used in the virtual environment keep the trainees interested and facilitates the memorization of information as well as consolidates their skills. Wireless HMD (Head Mounted Display) and the motion capture technology are used in order to involve muscle memory and improve the effectiveness of Trainings. All Training scenarios are fully integrated with ICT Training assessment system. The possibility of practical application of the VR-based Training into the educational process of workers can have a significant impact on improving collective and individual work safety. VR-based Training is a particularly valuable for People working in dangerous conditions, where the accident rate is clearly higher than in other branches of the economy. Moreover VR-based Training allows to support the rehabilitation and physiotherapy process in order to accelerate the return to work after injuries.
