dc.description.abstract | For people with disabilities, the rehabilitation services which can give help for disabled persons have a very important significance. Sheltered workshops belonging to a part of rehabilitation services , they provide not only vocational training services allowed disabled persons to cultivate their ability,but also provide sheltered employment to let disabled persons get jobs. Early, Taiwan sheltered workshops were set by supervisory authorities of utility agencies, having diverse features, including
life care, strengthen vocational ablity and sheltered employment, but it was controversial that the positions of sheltered wokshops were not clear.
In order to resolve the dispute, the current Disbilities Rights Protection Act stipulate that sheltered workshops are governed by the Department of Labor,and the functions of sheltered worshops are narrowed only on sheltered employment services. However, when the government pulls out the supporting role, sheltered workshops are challenged in many ways,such as individualizd vocational evaluation plans, same pay for same work and so on, therefore, it is necessary to re-examine the provisions of sheltered workshops. Provisions of the United States of sheltered workshops are made by the state governments themselves, and the Oklahoma has formulated the Sheltered Workshops Act in 2011, enhancing the status of the management and supervision in sheltered workshops to state law, regulating the management of sheltered workshops, preferential procurement, as well as the calculation standards of wage for people who are engaged in sheltered employment, and this situation was similar to Taiwan. In view of the systems in sheltered workshops of the United States, we can make up the shortcomings of our sheltered workshops in the management systems, in order to propose more adjustments to our legal systems in sheltered workshops.
