Evaluating the Work Potential of Blind Multiply Handicapped Persons for the Manufacture of Bath Perfume

Abstract

To evaluate the work potential of blind, severely retarded, multiply handicapped persons, a model project involving the manufacture of bath perfume was established within an already existing program. Fifteen clients attempted to master one or more of the five work-station tasks in the operation (mixing, bottle filling, capping, labeling, and boxing). There were 48 successes in 58 attempts, for an 83-percent success rate. Of those successes, 75 percent were accomplished in only one two-hour working day.
