ABSTRACT

Recently, the social participation of people with disabilities has drawn public attention because of the enactment of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Disability Discrimination Act, amendment of the Disabled Persons' Welfare Act, and the commencement of nationwide Personal Assistance Service for people with disabilities. This article discusses the predictors of social participation of people with severe physical disabilities based on the ICF framework. Multiple regression was carried out using secondary data from 374 respondents. Major findings are as follows. The factors influencing the social participation of people with physical disabilities are chronic illness, duration of disability, educational background, monthly household income, innateness of the disability, the degree of utilization of social services, and the severity of the problem faced by the environment (physical, social, attitudinal). In conclusion, to improve the social participation of people with severe physical disabilities, political and practical solutions are suggested.
