The inclusive design as a lever for training workers with cognitive limitations
Main Article Content
Abstract
More and more Canadian businesses are changing their work organization to include people with cognitive disabilities (PCDs) in their workforces to reduce the impact of the current labour shortage in the West. However, these workers have specific needs, particularly with respect to on-the-job training. This research examines the particularities of instructional design that must be considered when developing training for PCDs. Taking a user-centered approach (UCA), a training platform was developed for a Quebec-based adapted enterprise. In addition to contributing to the limited scientific literature in the field, this process identified some recommendations for managers who wish to establish workplace training for this population.
