Abstract


It is important to address discrimination and stigma against disability in Tegal Regency society, which is the basis of this research. Members of the Inclusive Village Forum are residents who actively interact with people with disabilities. Families and communities do not always accept these conditions well. The Inclusive Village Forum was created to help people with disabilities regain confidence, want to develop and progress in their lives. These volunteers serve as the village's social capital to support people with disabilities.
