DSO 5 focuses on improving choices and opportunities for disabled people by removing barriers to equality and promoting their economic and social participation, measured by:

• Narrowing further the gap between overall employment rate and the employment rate of disabled people;
• Improving disabled people’s perceptions of their choice and control; and
• Improving access to goods and services for disabled people.
