neutral Emérentienne : petite note, le + souvent ce sont des déficients qui travaillent dans les CAT plus que des malades

vocational rehabilitation centre

I found this term on the site below. No idea how valid or current it is, but it does have the advantage of explaining what it is, which, to my mind, is a disadvantage of "sheltered workshop", even if that IS what Termium says.

I stumbled across it while looking for a definition of "occupational therapy centre", which, while it defintely exists and also has the advantage of clarity, may not actually be the same thing as a CAT, so you may need to reasearch it (them) a bit.

But I offer them up, you can do with them what you please :-) !!
