Assistive Technology for Labor Inclusion: What does the internet have to offer?   ABSTRACT This article presents Assistive Technology (AT) as an area of knowledge, which involves both services and resources, enhancing the daily and work actions of people with disabilities. From the perspective of education during life, the internet emerges as a great source of information that can subsidize inclusive processes in the work environment, but it is still little used, as it was pointed out by the 7 subjects, human resources managers from 7 large companies located in Rio Grande do Sul. The qualitative methodology was used with semi-structured interviews for the data collection. The results point out that a platform that collaboratively disseminates AT already in use in the work environment can help the companies in compliance with the Quotas Law.
