The social background of education for the disabled in China is social transformation and higher education reform. Disabled people enjoy the same right to development as ordinary people. Although great progress has been made in the education of the disabled, the problem is still very serious. The development of vocational education for the disabled, especially higher vocational education for the disabled, is still very slow, far from meeting the needs of society, so that many disabled people can neither enter ordinary schools nor find suitable vocational schools for the disabled, resulting in no schools to attend. In terms of admission opportunities, the phenomenon that disabled people are rejected by ordinary schools often occurs; In terms of educational conditions, there are still many obstacles in the objective environment for disabled people to study, and the quality of disabled educators needs to be improved; For example, some deaf-mute teachers can't even sign language and can't communicate with them, which also involves the problem of employing people. Judging from the educational results, the employment situation of the disabled after graduation is not optimistic. On the one hand, the employment of disabled people faces discrimination from employers, on the other hand, there are also problems such as unsuitable study and unequal majors. Of course, the specific situation is still very complicated.
