On the part of society, there are no levers for the implementation of legally defined guarantees of observing the rights and freedoms of people with disabilities to obtain a workplace. On the other hand, the presence of people with disabilities in social isolation due to their constant special needs for care and guardianship affects their relationship to the real world: interest is extremely rare, the desire to be included in possible processes is almost always, ignoring society and focusing on one's own illness. often. In such conditions, the task of society is determined by the creation of an inclusive environment for the integration of people at workplaces.

[employment]" and the pilot project "Helping Hand", which are aimed at creating an inclusive socio-economic space for people with disabilities. In the course of the research, general methods of scientific study were used, namely: comparison, description, observation, analogy. Also, special methods of study were applied, namely a systematic approach and structural-functional analysis, synthesis, generalization.
