Work Disability Issues in Non-Profit Organizations Serving People with Special Needs: Research Summary
In a world geared towards inclusive policies, considerations for people with disabilities should be careful and explicit to provide realistic solutions that influence their wellbeing and participation in development. This means that non-profit organizations should be actively and continuously strengthened for people with disabilities to continue receiving the services they need uninterrupted. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic revealed the vulnerabilities of such organizations and, therefore, different predicaments faced by people with disabilities in the 21st century. Previous research on the issues faced by people with disabilities has often focused on inclusive policies in workplaces and public spaces. However, not much is said about how these organizations cope with a global problem like the pandemic. Building on previous progress on the topic, the current paper summarizes research findings on the key issues impacting such organizations before and during the pandemic.
Research Process
The project's purpose was to build a work sector research proposal on non-profit organizations that focus on assisting and highlighting the challenges faced by people with disabilities. In this regard, research deployed several search and data gathering approaches that involved a review of health care articles and journals as proposed by Lefebvre et al. (2019). The inclusion of articles depended on the extent to which they presented the challenges faced by these organizations and the recommendations provided. These sources were found mainly in databases like MEDLINE, OCHSU, IHEC, and CRDCN. Out of the several useful peer-reviewed sources examined, the most relevant five are integrated with the findings summarized in the next section.

Prevalence of Disabilities & Role of Organizations
The World Health Organization estimates that at least 5 billion people (or 15% of the global population) live with one or more forms of disability. In Canada, 16% of the population (5.3 million) are living with some form of disability that impacts their levels of quality of life, independence, and freedom. To address these problems, there are established non-profit organizations that assist. Their role is to increase the visibility of disabled individuals, help them pursue opportunities, and pursue organizational work environments and government policies that contribute to the effort as part of inclusive approaches to government and organizational management efforts; however, despite the selflessness and humility deployed by these organizations, the face multiple problems that limit the efficacy of their plans and strategies. These problems became even more apparent as organizations faced economic and human capital challenges during the pandemic. Understanding the problems faced by these organizations and solving them is a necessity if the global and ...
