The survey, launched by the Law Society in partnership with the Legally Disabled Research Team at Cardiff University, found working from home during the COVID-19 outbreak enabled the majority of respondents to manage their disability more effectively. 70% would prefer to continue working remotely long-term.
One lawyer said the pandemic had ‘normalised’ asking for adjustments.
Only 52% of respondents had reasonable adjustments in place prior to the pandemic.
Cardiff University professor Debbie Foster, who led the research, said: ‘We found many disabled people experienced higher levels of trust and autonomy during lockdown and found training, career development and networking more inclusive and accessible.’
