PLANNING FOR REHABILITATION

When a duplicate registration form presenting the case of a disabled
 person is received in a district branch office of the Bureau, that
form, giving complete preliminary information, is the original assignment
 to the adjuster. A call is made for a general review of the
case and formulation of a plan for the return of the disabled registrant
 to a proper occupation.
Among the factors that must then be considered by the adjuster in
the field are the following,—
Physical condition of the disabled person; employment prospects
that could be filled by such disabled person; mental attitude and basic

 or organizations whose cooperation will be of value in the
case.

a training program.
The training is always provided in existing educational institutions,
trade schools or industrial plants.
There are numbers of cases where heavy domestic responsibilities,
absence of basie education, lack of manual dexterity or residence isolation
 preclude the possibility of ambitious training and require the
adjuster to work out, usually with an employer, a suitable task in employment
 which the disabled registrant can perform as well as an ablebodied
 person can perform such particular task.

PROVIDING NECESSARY ARTIFICIAL APPLIANCES

An adjuster of the Bureau may determine, by an investigation,
that a disabled registrant, with amputation of leg or arm or other
disability, must be provided with an artificial appliance as arm, leg
or brace to be fit to return to any type of employment. The Bureau
