special laws of education6. The present state of disability legislation does not cover all the issues
of significance an individual with special needs might require. Thus, the legislation took time in
drafting for the benefit of the disabled children and aged people. The legislation of disabilities
consists of the Civil Rights Act, 1964, Rehabilitation Act, 1973, Civil Rights of Institutionalized
Persons Act, 1980 and Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act of 1984. Along
with the disabilities legislation, education legislation exists including no child left behind act of
2001, the education for all handicapped children act of 1975 and improving head start for school
readiness act of 20077. The key personnel of the business lay down the fact that it is not a
partnership business or a sole trader. It is considered a non-profit organization. It can be said that
CPL collects the information based on the personal matters. The personal information was based
on the name, address, gender and legal information that are regarding the process of decision-
making and financial information. Information on health, social information and medical
information that is related to the service associated with CPL. The information of the individuals
should be kept updated regarding the alterations in the circumstances. This information that is
collected is not usually send overseas. Consent of the individuals are required if the information
needs to be sent overseas.

upheld. When it comes to privacy, the disabled and aged individuals should respect the right to
privacy of every client and have dignity in all the aspects of their life and must protect their

active inclusion in the community. The individual outcomes consist of the supports and services
that are planned and assessed and are based on the strengths of the individual that help them to
reach their aim and goals. Choice, passion and life have a few insurance policies for the disabled

disabled people safe are their main motive.

Evaluation of Company Legal Structure
The non-profit status of the organization deals with the individuals who are associated
with the organization. It is treated to be a non-profit organization because the company works for
the people who are disabled and aged10. Children that did not present legal responsible ones,
children that had serious deformities that disabled handling, serious epilepsy and patients that
accomplished Physiotherapic and speech, language and hearing sciences services at the same
time in other institutions were excluded of the study11. This way, 14 children composed the
sample of this study, whereas 6 children accomplished Physiotherapy and Speech, Language and
Hearing Sciences in the proposing institution, and 8 children accomplished Physiotherapy in the
collaborating institution. In relation to the statistical analysis of the PEDI the continuous
variables were described through average and standard deviation (symmetrical distribution) or
medium and interquartile range (asymmetrical distribution). The qualitative variables were
described through absolute and relative frequencies12.
Conclusion
In the conclusion it can be stated that by stating that the purpose of this establishment was
to support and help the disabled children along with the aged people. This organization did not
keep any kind of profit as the purpose of it is to help these people when they require it. Lastly,
