Abstract:
Teleworking is a fashionable word today. The issue is raising a lot of interest also in the world of disability: the possibility to work at a distance is felt as a new opportunity to access the labour market, by improving flexibility and reducing the need of travelling to a workplace. Experiences demonstrate that, when properly implemented, teleworking is an integrating opportunity for profitable employment. But this does not mean that teleworking is the magic solution to the problems of job integration of persons with disability. These Guidelines originate from the experience of the European TWIN Project. Their purpose is to clarify concepts, and briefly guide to properly planning teleworking operations that integrate disabled workers.
