Disability, individual and environmental factors are considered as indicators of participation. Objectives: To explore the perceive impact of environmental barriers on participation of community dwelling individuals with spinal cord injury in Bangladesh. Methodology: A qualitative study design was selected by the researcher to carry out the research. All dimensions of each individual were completed at one theme in time. Data were collected within a short period of time. The target population was the persons with spinal cord injury discharged from a rehabilitation center and living in the community and data collected by purposive sampling. Results: From the transcriptions, researcher identified 15 environmental factors that influenced participation among individuals with SCI. Approximately there are some causes which straightly influence the participation and some causes through others. Conclusion: Participation have to ensure throw ensure accessibility and removing barrier. The participation of persons with disabilities in the formulation and application of public strategy is perceived as indispensable in dropping poverty and confirming their rights. Exclusionary guidelines not only put burden on the country socio-economically, but also create psychological barricades for people with disabilities to explore full potential.
