Persons with disabilities (PWDs) benefited from the rise of remote work over the pandemic, according to ATRIEV (Adaptive Technology for Rehabilitation, Integration and Empowerment of the Visually Impaired), an organization that helps PWDs find tech-oriented jobs.
In this B-Side episode, BusinessWorld reporter Justine Irish D. Tabile talks to ATRIEV executive director Antonio D. Llanes, Jr., and ATRIEV chief of operations Carolina C. Catacutan-Sam about the impact of online jobs on the stigma faced by PWDs in the job market.
“Persons with disabilities are not asking for special treatment, what we want is accommodation that is reasonable,” says Ms. Catacutan-Sam, who is totally blind.
Recorded remotely in November 2022. Produced by Joseph Emmanuel L. Garcia and Sam L. Marcelo.
