I used to work at a group home for people with mental retardation and simultaneous mental illness. They each worked at jobs, engaged in leisure activities, had relationships with their family and friends, paid their bills … the things that ‘normal’ people would be expected to do. They needed appropriate supports to do such things, but they did them. They were productive and contributed to society about as much as anyone does. What makes you think the disabled don’t contribute?
