The individual chapters will gradually acquaint the reader with the development of the concept of prevocational rehabilitation methodology, with the legislative bases on which the system of prevocational centers operates.
The text further acquaints the reader with the principles of prevocational examination, with the involvement of individual members of the interprofessional rehabilitation team in the process of prevocational rehabilitation. As part of the prevocational examination, selected functional standardized methods and tests (basic, recommended and special) are applied, which are gradually presented in individual parts of the book.
The aim of the prevocational examination is to objectively evaluate the psychosensomotor potential of people with disabilities for employment purposes. The output of the prevocational examination is the final report of the prevocational examination, which contains a positive recommendation and limitations on the work abilities of a particular person.

The book is intended not only for experts in the field of rehabilitation, but also for all those interested in the issue of prevocational rehabilitation and employment of people with disabilities.
