A case of a sheltered workshop in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no new data were created or analysed in this study. Abstract. Background. People with disabilities often participate in income-generating activities (IGAs) in sheltered workshop in South Africa. However, they face many barriers that limit their ability to participate effectively in economic activities hosted by the workshops. Objectives. To illustrate the barriers that limit the participation of people with disabilities in IGAs in a sheltered workshop. Method. A qualitative exploratory single case study was conducted in a sheltered workshop. Eighteen participants, age 22 to 52 years with various disabilities were purposively sampled. Observations and semi-structured interview guides were used to generate data. Verbatim transcription was used after which content analysis was applied to identify ideas and concepts relating to barriers experienced by people with disabilities participating in IGAs. Results. Some of the barriers participants experienced included institutional barriers (ability to use working tools, inability to concentrate for long periods, lack of funds, language barriers, lack of motivation, activities that are not stimulating and lack of artistry skills) and attitudinal barriers (exclusion from decision making) These barriers had an adverse influence on their performance in IGAs. Conclusion. The study found eight different barriers that existed in a sheltered workshop which limited the participation of the people with disabilities that attended the workshop. This information can be used to develop strategies to address each barrier and promote increased participation of the individual thereby improving their quality of life. Keywords: people with disabilities, barriers, income generating activities, sheltered workshop, participation. Introduction. Over 15% of the world’s population is made up of people with disabilities (World Health Organization & World Bank [WHO & WB] 2011), and these people are often unemployed, live in poverty, and some may have no qualifications. South Africa has a population of 57.73 million of which 2.9 million (7.5%) are recorded as living with a disability and experience difficulties in functioning and participating in economic activities (Stats SA 2014). Consequently, this has a negative impact on their lives. The South African government developed various policy frameworks and guidelines since 1994. These include the Skills Development Act No. 97 of 1998 (Republic of South Africa 1998b), National Skills Development Strategies (NSDS, Republic of South Africa 2001, 2005, 2011), White Paper on an Integrated National Disability Strategy (INDS, Republic of South Africa 1997b), Code of Good Practice on the employment of people with disabilities (Republic of South Africa 2002), Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination (PEPUDA, Republic of South Africa 2000), and the Employment Equity Act 55 (EEA, Republic of South Africa 1998a). These were developed to enable the successful inclusion of people with disabilities into mainstream society. These policies and frameworks aim to increase access and opportunities to ensure that all people can develop livelihoods that are sustainable. Additionally, the policies deal with the challenges that limit the ability of people with disabilities to participate in society. They are also intended to address the needs of those people who were previously disadvantaged as well as marginalised groups like people with disabilities. Despite these policies, guidelines and frameworks, it is argued that people with disabilities in a sheltered workshop (a setting in which people with disabilities receive services and training to develop work-related skills and behaviours, Armstrong 2011) are faced with attitudinal, environmental and institutional barriers, which limit their ability to participate in economic activities effectively. Research shows that people with disabilities in South Africa face interacting barriers that limit life chances and their ability to participate in economic activities. These barriers include lack of accessible transport to reach the workplace, lack of skills training, lack of application and monitoring of the Employment Equity Act and lack of funds (Berthoud 2008, Department of Labour 2002, Economic Policy Research Institute [EPRI] 2001, 2004, Moodley 1997, Seirlis & Swartz 2006). A study by Momin (2004) reveals that people with disabilities suffer from various forms of barriers such as appropriate skills, lack of educational qualifications, discriminating attitude and inappropriate wages.
