Abstract
Non-profit organizations (NpO) are essential in society, particularly in their efforts to empower and integrate those with special needs, such as children with mental disabilities (CWMD). This study seeks to investigate the rationales behind the perception of NpO as a potent instrument for empowering and integrating this specific cohort of persons. The study monitored and extrapolated published intellectual production on NpO's functional functions in delivering services and enabling PWSN using a descriptive-analytical technique. The applied aspect used the mixed approach, which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches using the explanatory sequential design strategy. The research team collected quantitative data and analyzed it first, then qualitative data and analyzed it second. The field study comprised 225 professionals in all fields and 225 PWSN parents from 45 associations and NpO in six Kingdom districts.
