An unfavorable state of health puts a person at a disadvantage not only in his personal life but also in his working life. Persons with disabilities include people with long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory disabilities, which, in combination with various obstacles, may prevent their full and effective participation in the life of society.

According to Article 27 of the UN Convention2 on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the disabled are recognized as having the right to work on an equal basis with others. This includes the right to earn a living through freely chosen work or work accepted on the labor market and the right to a work environment that is open, inclusive and accessible. In reality, however, a person with a disability often faces a number of disadvantages in the open labor market. It alludes not only to the prejudices of the admissions staff process, but also to the limited willingness and possibilities of employers to adapt the workload and environment to the needs of such employees.
