Person With Disabilities (PWDs)
Person With Disabilities (PWDs) have been defined as those are having long-term physical limitation, mental, intellectual or senses that hinder them to participate fully and effectively in the community. The Department of Social Welfare Malaysia (DSW) has classified the PWDs into seven categories:-
a) Sight disability;
b) Hearing disability;
c) Physical disability;
d) Speech disability;
e) Slow learners;
f) Mental disability;
g) Multiple disabilities.
Due to its limitations, PWDs could not effectively be trained through the traditional training programmes in terms of concentration and methods of learning. Thus, the DSW has adopted the Job Coach method to be implemented for special training for the PWDs. Job Coach is a coaching type of programmes to PWDs as to equip them with relevant skills before they are being absorbed into employment.
Job Coach is introduced to equip PWDs to work in a society or open employment and enjoy the suitability of jobs as well. Therefore, it will equip PWDs mentally and gain practical skills that make them able to work in the society.
