Abstract

This is the first study to suggest “Coolabilities” as a general concept for particular enhanced abilities that may accompany disabling conditions. Similar to how blind people can have exceptional hearing and people with Autism Spectrum Disorder can have superior sense for detail, many other conditions may come with similar coolabilities that remain to be investigated. The Coolabilities concept can be useful in any context that aims to increase the value of people, with a large impact on the labor market. Individuals labeled as “disabled” are defined by what they cannot do, while “coolabled” people are defined by their strengths and are an untapped resource of special talent. The purpose of this study is to present the general coolabilities concept, discuss its validity and demonstrate its relevance by suggesting future research and applications enabled by it, with the main focus on human resource management.
