Physical disability, schooling and work

Abstract

The disability with motion problems motivates the families to adapt educational estrategies that depend upon economical and cultural conditions, so they can make use of the legislative and institutional context. In France, this context is characterized by the existence of an education sector for disabled whose capacity to absorb to demand to the second cycle of the second degree is reduced. The biography of disabled women with severe motion problems born in France between 1943 and 1956, shows through education and attempts to go into profession the difficulties of continuing the edcuation process and the conditions needed for the success of the education on non-specialized schools. It also shows the dificulty of getting a job compatible with the disable education.
