Abstract Subject headings

A group whose competence is underutilised because of discrimination and prejudice is people associated with disabilities. Employers must consider how the workplace and work assignments can be adapted so that people associated with disabilities can be included. There are different types of disabilities and each one demands different adaptations. Once such changes are made, however, many people associated with disabilities can work. The chapter reports on a study of an IT education for people associated high-functioning autism. They need an undisturbed workplace and clear and well-structured work assignments. Managers must understand the conditions that high-functioning autistic people work under and be able to create good personal relationships.
