Background: Social inclusion describes how a society morals all of its citizens, compliments
their differences, make sure that everyone’s basic needs are met, their rights are ensured and
enables full participation in that society. However, persons with disabilities face continual
inequalities that increase the risk of ending up in poverty. Thus, an inclusive growth and
development approach is needed to counter this persistent inequality. Such inclusive approaches
lead to increase the capabilities, opportunities, and incomes of groups which are consistently on
the margins economically, socially and politically.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore the social inclusion of the people with
disability living in disability homes.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Kathmandu valley, Nepal. A sample of 211
people with disabilities aged between 16 years 65 years living in disability centers and homes
were randomly selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. An interviewer-administered
questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive analyses were first conducted. Univariate and
multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association between dependent
and independent variablesю
