Matt kept the operable window in his office open all the time because he needed unlimited access to fresh air. This was terminated after a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system was installed in his Government of Canada office building. After Matt’s access to fresh air became mechanically controlled through extra-locally developed air quality standards, the workplace became a barrier for him. Matt was deemed to suffer from a disability known as environmental sensitivity because he became ill every time he spent more than 45 minutes inside his office building. Yet, according to a textually-mediated assessment of Matt’s workplace performed by a Compliance Review Officer from the Canadian Human Rights Commission, his workplace was barrier-free. Using Dorothy E. Smith’s institutional ethnography, this paper explicates how the social organization of workplace accommodation and compliance—processes that were developed to promote inclusion—are exclusionary.

The aim of the presented paper is to analyze the approaches to the non-pharmaceutical rehabilitation of the drug addicts based on the example of the Social and Rehabilitative Centre «Roza Vetrov» of the municipal pedagogic institution «Podrostok». The following rehabilitative approaches were used: (1) labor and environmental rehabilitation; (2) group and family psychotherapy; (3) different trainings; (4) supported employment and workplace accommodation. Destigmatization is an obligatory psychotherapeutical procedure starting the rehabilitation. Rehabilitative environment is a special micro social group with adjusted behavior. Trainings are a complex of psycho corrective procedures with different targets. Adaptive psychotherapy is the necessary part of the rehabilitation and bringing the patients back to the micro social group they are used to be a member of. Family psychotherapy is performed by discussing the problems of co-abuse, possible options of manipulative behavior in drug addicts and their families. At the stage of workplace accommodation and professional orientation behavior modes are formed, necessary for successful entry into the professional labor.

This paper is concerned with workplace accommodation and the extent to which people feel able to disclose disabilities at work. Disclosure is central to accommodation in the sense that workers must feel comfortable describing their needs to employers. Where this is not the case � for example, where workers are concerned about the precariousness of their position and the fact that disclosure may result in dismissal � legal requirements for accommodation can be ineffective. To explore this issue, the paper uses qualitative data from interviews with fifty-nine people with physical, learning, psychiatric and sensory disabilities in the Hamilton labour market. Analysis indicates that most respondents viewed disclosure as a risky endeavour, and a significant minority did not disclose due to concerns about not being hired or being dismissed. The conclusion discusses the need for �accommodating workplaces� and the implications for the labour movement.
