It is no secret that for people with disabilities in Germany there are many opportunities for them not to feel incapable of any activity. For example, electric cars and trains are equipped with special devices for the descent of wheelchairs and people with mobility problems. There are special charitable services at the station to help people with disabilities.

When recruiting, you can often find the phrase "Disabled people are preferred." In short, the assistance is organized pretty well.



An interesting situation happened at my workplace. I work in a social organization that works on the principle of centres for difficult teenagers and children from disadvantaged families.

A trainee came to us, a young man with the DCP. The form of the disease is not severe and the guy does very well with various types of assignments. Heavy things did not really work for him. But he continued and tried as much as he could.

I say to the boss:

Can I help him?

The Boss:

No, in no case. He has equal duties and rights with other employees. In addition, by helping him, you may let him know that he is limited by something. It will be ugly.

I am :

Can he help me?

The Boss:

It will look like you are using a disabled person.

I am :

What to do then?

The Boss:

Try not to meet him at work.

P.S

All the staff helped the guy, and he helped us until the boss saw him.
