I think there are new opportunities. Telecommuting is becoming especially popular even for traditional jobs.
My point about accessible transportation, and your brother is an example of that too, is that people also need good employment and to pursue social activities. I'm pretty sure your young brother would want to have a girlfriend, stay late in the bar, etc., and this tackles a lot of those avenues too, because you also know that people with disabilities can be very isolated in their own homes and in their own community. That leads to mental health issues, and the number is staggering throughout Canada.
So yes, technology and telecommuting are new opportunities, and I think we all leverage them. I also work two days a week from home, but at the same time the reality is that we need to be mobile, to get out of our own homes and to go and interact with the rest of the community, regardless of whether we have a disability.
