Drawing on special pedagogy, the authors shift attention from individual impairment to the relational dynamics between people, activities, and work environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume traces the cultural, historical, and legislative evolution of Italian approaches to labour inclusion, highlighting the shift from welfare‑oriented models to frameworks centred on recognition, autonomy, and substantive equality. It maps the professional roles that support workplace integration and examines how organisations interpret and enact accessibility across physical‑environmental, organisational, and relational dimensions. Building on this foundation, the book presents findings from an inter‑university research project that investigates accessibility practices within Italian companies, from onboarding and workplace adjustments to organisational climate and the awareness of employers and internal stakeholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBy weaving together theoretical reflection, legal analysis, and empirical evidence, the authors argue for a structural and educational approach to inclusion; one that understands accessibility as a design principle shaping policies, organisational cultures, and everyday professional relationships. This concise and action‑oriented volume is essential reading for scholars, educators, policymakers, HR professionals, and practitioners committed to building inclusive workplaces and advancing disability rights in Italy and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnrico Miatto\u003c\/strong\u003e is Aggregate Professor of Special Pedagogy, Didactics and Educational Research at the Salesian University Institute of Venice (IUSVE), Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValeria Friso\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Didactics and Special Pedagogy at the University of Bologna, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCecilia Pellizzari\u003c\/strong\u003e is Junior Researcher at the Salesian University Institute of Venice (IUSVE) and PhD candidate at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabio Sacchi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Didactics and Special Pedagogy at the University of Bergamo, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032315281\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50462401396876,"sku":"9783032315281","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032315281.jpg?v=1780616691","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032315281","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
