a method of social rehabilitation using purposeful activities to restore the most accessible level of independence of an individual with disabilities. Employment therapy is less focused on the restoration of impaired functions. First of all, it is based on the introduction of persons with disabilities and the elderly to socially useful work and is represented by three main forms:
1) classes according to abilities (music, fine arts, literature);
2) Applied activities (needlework, housekeeping, photography, etc.);
3) participation in collective entertainment and educational events (dance evenings, excursions, thematic evenings).
