Abstract
A formal operational definition of readjustment of disabled persons to the normal social environment after being discharged from a rehabilitation institution has been formulated. A theoretical framework predicting the factors enhancing and impeding a disabled person's readjustment has been suggested and empirically supported. Empirical investigation and application of a multivariate technique of analysis revealed a pattern of the factors predicting readjustment which applies equally to any degree of disability. Data revealed the significance of primary groups and emotional support in predicting success and the limited abilities in achieving such success by formal rehabilitation agencies. It clearly revealed the advantage of ‘resource enhancing support’ in contrast to the impeding effect of direct economic support.
