This highlights the importance of addressing this issue through an instrument provided for in our legal system: reasonable accommodation. This involves taking the necessary measures to adapt tools, working hours, premises, spaces, transport, clothing and other aspects to the needs of employees with disabilities, with the aim of ensuring equality with other employees. The job coach who works with the person with a disability and the company needs to be familiar with all these measures.<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<p>At this stage of the project, the focus is not so much on technological aspects of improving working conditions for people with disabilities. Instead, the research adopts a business and legal perspective, examining issues such as the application of specific measures for this group, including greater flexibility in working hours, the provision of adaptations that improve access to work tools and, in particular, the protection of their specific rights. It also addresses the identification of discriminatory situations arising from a person&#8217;s disability, and provides advice on companies&#8217; obligations and the rights of employees with disabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<ul style=\"margin: 0;padding-left: 1.2rem\">\n<li>Companies, associations supporting people with disabilities and public institutions committed to the employment inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.

Interviews with companies about the challenges involved have produced important findings, which we have subsequently presented in several focus groups involving local associations specialising in support for people with disabilities, as well as companies that employ workers with disabilities. These two activities distinguish our work from research at other universities, which has focused more heavily on theoretical study.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- DEVELOPMENT STAGE --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">DEVELOPMENT STAGE<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<p>One part of the project, specifically the research into \u201creasonable accommodation\u201d, concerns an issue that, although clearly defined in legislation, still lacks detailed development covering the different aspects of working life. We consider this one of the most important areas of our project, and we are working to develop solutions by putting forward proposals addressing different work activities. There is still further work to be done in this area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- APPLICATION SECTORS --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">APPLICATION SECTORS<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<ul style=\"margin: 0;padding-left: 1.2rem\">\n<li>Human Resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- PRINCIPAL RESEARCHER --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">PRINCIPAL RESEARCHER<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<p><strong>Francisco Javier Fern\u00e1ndez Orrico<\/strong> \u2013 Legal Science<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTACT --><\/p>\n<footer style=\"border-top: 2px solid #A6192E;padding-top: 1rem;margin-top: 2rem\"><strong>Contact details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;font-weight: bold;color: #a6192e\">KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER SERVICE<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.3rem 0\"><strong><a style=\"color: #a6192e;text-decoration: none\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">email:<\/span> transferencia@umh.es<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Tel: +34 96 522 2599<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">web: <\/span><a style=\"color: #a6192e;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"https:\/\/transferencia.umh.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transferencia.umh.es<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reasonable Accommodation and the Job Coach as Key Elements in the Employment Inclusion of People with Disabilities<br \/>\nThe social model of disability emphasises the need to address the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from achieving equality in their working lives.
