Abstract
The aim of this study is primarily to examine the influence of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) on disability policies. Theoretical discussions have shown that public policies are generated by the participation of various actors within the society. Disability policies are also generated and implemented by these actors including NGOs. In this study, Ankara was selected to evaluate the influence of NGOs which are in the interest of disability issues on the generation and implementation of disability policies. Their involvement into the disability policies were examined within the legal and institutional context of participation mechanisms. In this context, interviews were conducted with urban administrators, and NGOs managers of whom some have disabilities within Ankara. The findings showed that NGOs have certain problems of participation in disability policies. This study proposed a better participation model for NGOs in the generation and implementation of disability policy.
