Inclusión laboral de las personas con discapacidad física : historia de una experiencia de inclusión en una fundación de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This study was carried out using a qualitative approach, a life story that focuses on rescuing the experience of a person with a physical disability in his experience of labor inclusion. It sought to reveal aspects of his human experience, rescuing his personal story of a music educator, with a disability in his right hand. Through in-depth interviews, it is discovered how art, specifically music, is an instrument that allowed his anchoring and subsequent labor inclusion. Likewise, the path of many people with disabilities who subsist in informal work until the possibility of a formal space that enables the development of their capacities is evident. Another important discovery is that not all spaces are suitable for the work of people with disabilities. In the case study, the reception, adaptation of roles and acceptance of the institution as another actor in the process, allowed for a labor insertion that has been going on for more than two years to date. A conclusive element is the need to implement monitoring and support mechanisms that enable national regulations on labor inclusion of people with disabilities to be fully complied with, generating social and not just economic inclusion.
