【 摘 要 】

Disability policies target a large and heterogeneous group of persons. According to an OECD study in the twenty countries studied, on average about 14% of the working-age population classify themselves as disabled. About one-third of the group of working-age disabled people are severely disabled. Persons with congenital disabilities form a minority of usually less than 10% of the entire group of working-age people withdisabilities. Vocational rehabilitation and training is predominantly offered to people below age 45, thus partly explaining the age bias in the disability benefit programs. In this paper after a presentation of some disability policies and an example of s disability police oriented to learning Web-design, an example of a project is done aimed at development of vocational training models for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). These models are social-oriented and based on e-Learning.
