The study engages with a focused population of "physically disabled" who successfully Obtained academic diplomas in order to shed light on the exclusion of this population, including its exclusion from integration into the labor market due to ongoing discrimination. The study attempts to answer the following question: Does the rejection of people with disabilities and their long-term discrimination in finding work cause harm to their mental situation? The research method is the qualitative research one, and the research tool is the structured face-to-face interview. Six people with physical disabilities participated in the study, three women and three men, all of whom have higher education. The age range of male and female interviewees ranged from 25-50. The interviewees are from the Arab society and have physical disabilities. The sample was selected according to the convenience approach. the obstacles and successfully integrating into the labor market very well prove the rejection of people with disabilities wrong, while those with disabilities who failed to find work experienced unjustified rejection. The findings also indicate the existence of prejudice among the Arab society in relation to various disabilities, whether for gender reasons, mental illness, and physical disability. However, the main component of this study shows that prejudices stemming from primordial fears regarding people with disabilities in the Arab society create baseless stereotypes about the ability of candidates for employment, despite their academic and professional training, and their ability to do the work well and even better than not disabled colleagues do.
