%X Data of 200 disadvantaged apprentices and of 165 apprentices in a normal professional training in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania were collected in an exploratory field study. Based on these data it was examined if there is an increased need of fostering the motor abilities together with an existing need of cognitive and social-emotional support. The results confirm the supposed need of motor fostering for the majority of the disadvantaged apprentices.Compared with the apprentices in a normal professional training, the deficits of the disadvantaged young people in motor abilities are as high as their intellectual backlogs. For this reason a programme for motor fostering should be developed and evaluated within the support framework for disadvantaged apprentices.
