Abstract
Introduction: This research has focused on designing the empowerment service management model for people with disabilities covered by Iran's Welfare Organization.
Methods: The research's statistical population included experts and professionals who provide empowerment services for people with disabilities in the country's welfare organization. Due to the heterogeneous population, whose distribution varied across groups and classes, the probability sampling method with classification was employed. The validity and reliability of the research tool were checked by face validity and content validity. To assess reliability, Cronbach's alpha was used, yielding a value of 0.974.
Results: The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling via the covariance method with AMOS 24 software. According to the findings, the proposed model comprises 34 items and six factors: planning, financial resources, resource generation, employment, coordination, and control. 
Conclusion: The results showed that the present study could fill the gap resulting from the lack of suitable models in the field under investigation. It is one of the first efforts in designing and providing an empowerment service management model to support the disabled in Iran, contributing to the enrichment of the research literature.
