[PDF-fullMembers] New Policy Brief: Assistive Technology and Employment – Now Available

[Shweta Vandana]

Dear OPD members,

Warm greetings from the Pacific Disability Forum.

We’re pleased to share with you the newly launched Policy Brief on Assistive Technology (AT) and Employment, jointly released by the ILO and ATscale during the 18th session of the Conference of States Parties (COSP18) to the CRPD on Monday, 9 June 2025.

This timely publication outlines the crucial role of assistive technology in promoting employment opportunities for persons with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries. It addresses the challenges faced by both AT users and employers and highlights practical solutions and actions that stakeholders can take to enhance inclusion and access in the workplace.

We encourage you to read the brief and share it widely among your networks.

Let us continue to advocate for inclusive employment and ensure assistive technology is prioritized across all sectors.

Kind regards.
