Therefore, this study aims to focus on the experiences of career success among persons with physical disabilities that intend to show the positive contributions persons with disabilities can give in their job they are capable of becoming successful despite their disability. Content analysis was used in this study to address the existing understanding of persons with physical disabilities with regards to their experiences of work.
