The work demonstrates the importance of the process of vocational guidance for people with severe developmental disorders, Also article reveals certain difficulties in solving this problem. Two large groups of problems are distinguished - external and internal: social problems that impede the ability of young people with severe mental disabilities to choose a profession, and problems associated with the organization of career guidance activities themselves. It is noted that new opportunities for career guidance are currently opening up, as specialists shift the focus from the limitations of young people to their advantages and opportunities.
