Abstract

The research problem is based on the insignificant share of people with disabilities in the social sciences literature. The research methodology is based on an integrated approach. Quantitative data was collected using a standard questionnaire from a statistical sample of 374 people. The research method is a qualitative approach of thematic content analysis. The analysis of quantitative data shows the concentration of basic needs that remain unanswered. Poverty, illness, worry, desirefulness, striving for dignity, being neglected, exclusion and humiliation are the extracted basic themes which were organized in the form of three themes of helplessness, striving to get past the limited body, the un-generalized other. Based on quantitative and qualitative findings, the overarching theme of "struggle to be with constrained embodiment" was used to describe the life world of these people. The life world of a person with a disability cannot be reduced to a disability, nor can one ignore his limited body in understanding his life world. The encounter of this human being with his own needs due to his limited tightness is a pure experience of subjectivity, an experience that can be a way to know the human kind.
