The Work Adjustment Programme is a service offered to individuals who acquired a disability during their working life and require retraining and vocational rehabilitation. This may mean intensive counselling with the client and his/her family members to help them adjust to their new circumstances. It may also include acquiring new skill that will enable them to return to work and regain a level of independence. This programme is personalized and as the client progresses the programme is adjusted to suit the specific needs of the client. This programme has no age restriction.

For NCPD's trainees, the Work Adjustment Training Programme focuses on improving work-related behaviour.The training is structured, closely monitored and a variety of behaviour modification approaches may be used to assist the individual in making a successful transition to training and/or job placement in competitive employment. Trainees' attendance, punctuality, productivity, motivation, socialization, grooming, physical tolerance and stamina is monitored. Depending on their needs, work behaviour is modified through vocational counselling, positive reinforcement, role-modeling and other approaches. Trainees are guided by their Counsellor who provides the motivation needed to help them properly adjust to the expectations of the workplace.
