You see what they are not able to do. I see what they are able to do. Questioning the argument of the business case in disability inclusion

Although research on disability inclusion has increased in recent decades, it is still considered scarce. Disability continues to be one of the under-researched areas in diversity inclusion (Özbilgin et al., 2011; Connel, 2009; Hardcourt et al., 2005). Disability affects 15% of the world population (WHO, 2011). At the European level, employment rates in 2008 were 73.6 % for people without disabilities but only 45.8 % for people with disabilities (ANED, 2011). The difference is also similar in other areas of the world (WHO, 2011).While inclusion in the labour market is encouraged in legislation and public policies, the approach when dealing with disability in organizations is rather on what impairment may prevent from doing rather than on what people with disabilities may contribute (Baldridge & Veiga, 2001; Campolieti, 2009; Cunningham, James & Dibben, 2004, (Kulkarni & Lenginick-Hall, 2011; Williams-Whitt & Taras, 2010). The research presented here proposes an alternative approach to disability inclusion policies which is captured in the sentence ¿You see what they are not able to do. I see what they are able to do.
