Özet:

Public policy is expressed as the things that state has chosen to do or not to do concerning specific social problem areas. Policy making is a process consisting of several stages. There are numerous formal-informal actors in this process. These actors are quite influential in defining the problem, agenda setting and policy formulation stages. In this study, the disability and the Disability Councils are handled which one is an important social problem area in Turkey as it is in the whole World and the other is an example of participation of people with disabilities in policy making process. The councils performed between 1999-2009 were determinative in the formation of disability policies which were revealed at that period. The end of the Disability Councils has been a significiant loss for the people with disabilities and disability policies.
