The Use of Mobile Technologies to Support Workers With Functional Limitations: An Exploratory Study in Adapted Enterprises in Quebec
For people with intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, the presence of limitations can hinder their access to the labour market. In Quebec, adapted enterprises are an interesting avenue to promote their socioprofessional integration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relevance and feasibility of implementing technologies to support the employability of people with functional limitations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 124 participants from 12 adapted enterprises. The results show an interest about introducing technologies in their work environment and several factors were identified as essential to consider before proceeding with such an implementation.
