| Sumario: | This paper aims to clarify the present and future of ICT and AT devices in the field of vocational rehabilitation in Japan through a literature review. The spread of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has led to a rise in the number of telework and remote employment support for persons with disabilities. Such practices are very likely to use ICT, such as email and web conferencing services, as well as associated AT devices. Accordingly, clarifying the current status and future of ICT and AT devices for vocational rehabilitation will be useful in improving the quality of employment support for people with disabilities. First, the devices introduced by disability type on the web page of a public rehabilitation organization in Japan, are summarized, in order to present an overall picture of the status of ICT and AT devices for employment. Secondly, a systematic review was conducted based on the PRISMA flow diagram to identify trends in research on ICT and AT devices for employment of persons with disabilities. The database search and hand search resulted in the selection of 36 papers. The selected studies were classified into “type of disability” targeted and “employment support setting” based on the study objective and content. |
