The world is looking for innovation, notably in the organisation of work. Teleworking, which associates data-processing, telecommunication and new organisation of work, was an important innovation in the eighties. In particular, teleworking is a solution for a disabled person to work and to become an economic entity.
Teleworking means working from a distance through the use of telecommunication technologies.
Perspectives Teleworking represents an opportunity for rehabilitation which should be neither overestimated nor ignored. It is certainly not a solution to be contemplated for the great majority of disabled people, but it does provide answers for some of them. Given that our ultimate goal is social and economic integration, we should be careful about proposing to a disabled person that he take up a teleworking position. Teleworking is not a solution for all handicapped people. Evidence suggests that only in cases where teleworking in general has a future does it offer real opportunities for the economic integration and vocational rehabilitation of disabled people.
