Workplace inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities: challenges and opportunities

Breaking barriers and stereotypes

For too long, people with intellectual disabilities have been excluded from the job market due to unfounded prejudices. At the Didac Sanchez Foundation, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to develop their professional potential.

Workplace inclusion is not just a right; it is a source of dignity, independence, and personal fulfillment. When a person with an intellectual disability accesses adapted employment, it not only improves their quality of life but enriches all of society.

The benefits of diversity at work

Companies that embrace inclusion discover numerous advantages:

  • Greater commitment: Workers with disabilities often show high loyalty and dedication to their position.
  • Positive work environment: Diversity fosters values such as empathy, collaboration, and respect.
  • Innovation: Different perspectives enrich problem-solving.
  • Social responsibility: Inclusion improves the corporate image and the company's social impact.

Our job placement program

We work on three fundamental axes:

  • Capacity assessment: We identify each person's strengths and skills to find the most suitable position.
  • Specific training: We offer practical training in trades and work skills.
  • On-the-job support: We provide continuous support to both the worker and the company to ensure successful integration.

Reasonable accommodations

The key to success lies in reasonable accommodations: adjustments to the environment, tasks, or schedules that allow each person to perform to their maximum capacity. These accommodations are usually simple and low-cost but have an enormous impact.

Allied companies

We collaborate with companies committed to inclusion that understand that diversity is a strength. If your company wants to join this initiative, contact us.
