Recognizing the significant impact of Differently Abled individuals in the workforce, especially within Government Agencies where legal protections are in place, this study delves into their experiences and insights. The research focuses on their rights, contributions, and suggestions for better recognition. The study outlines participant demographics including age, gender, education, job title, socio-economic status, nature of work, position, income, and service length. Participants' specific disabilities, challenges, interventions, and anticipated outcomes are also examined. Conducted in Tarlac Province, the research employs a case study approach with in-depth interviews using a purposive sampling design. Data is analyzed through frequency, percentage, and case exhibits. Findings highlight orthopedic disabilities as prevalent among Differently Abled individuals in Tarlac's government agencies. Challenges include physical barriers like inaccessible workspaces and inadequate specialized training. Recommendations include enforcing Magna Carta building protocols, creating dedicated workspaces, and providing training platforms for skill development and public engagement.
