Botswana Council for the Disabled (BCD) was established in 1980 as not for profit non-governmental organization (NGO). This body came into being as a result of studies commissioned by government of Botswana; following the National Development plan 1973-1978 declaration which declared insufficient attention paid to people with disability in Botswana.

Disability organizations came together (with Ministries of Health and Education involved) to form Botswana Council for the Disabled. Prior to the formation of this body, responsibilities of rehabilitation of people with disabilities were executed by NGOs like Mochudi Resource Centre for the Blind (1969), Camphill Community and Tlamelong.
