This study introduces a mathematical model to help employers predict accommodation needs for employees with mobility disabilities. The model offers a feasible preliminary measure for assessing required workplace accommodations.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • Employers face challenges in the accommodation process for disabled employees.
  • Predicting specific accommodation needs can be complex, especially for mobility-related disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss approaches for assisting employers in the accommodation process.
  • To propose and validate a mathematical model for predicting accommodation levels for individuals with mobility-related disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a mathematical model to predict accommodation needs.
  • Statistical analysis of data collected from twelve individuals with mobility-related disabilities to assess model validity and reliability.

Main Results:
