One of the groups of people who feel the impact of the Covid-19 on the family's economic condition is a group of people with disabilities. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many people with disabilities have lost their jobs. In addition, some of them have succeeded in developing cooperatives. Currently, there are many Cooperatives for Persons with Disabilities. However, their work is lacking in demand due to declining demand in the market. Therefore, this is the background for community service activities to increase business volume through optimizing the use of digital platforms at the Indonesian Disability Cooperative. With business assistance for people with disabilities, it can help improve the skills of people with disabilities and help promote their products so that they can expand the marketing reach of products for people with disabilities. Thus, the income of persons with disabilities will increase.Keywords: Cooperatives, Disability, Digital Platform, Covid-19AbstrakIndonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang terdampak pandemi Covid-19, sehingga banyak korban meninggal.

Sejak adanya pandemi Covid-19, banyak dari para penyandang disabilitas yang kehilangan pekerjaannya. Disamping itu, sebagian dari mereka telah berhasil mengembangkan koperasi. Saat ini telah banyak Koperasi Penyandang Disabilitas. Namun demikian, hasil karya mereka sepi peminat karena permintaannya yang menurun di pasar. Oleh karena itu, hal tersebut menjadi latar belakang kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dalam rangka peningkatan volume usaha melalui optimalisasi penggunaan plaftom digital pada Koperasi Disabilitas Indonesia. Dengan adanya pendampingan usaha untuk penyandang disabilitas, maka dapat membantu meningkatkan keterampilan para penyandang disabilitas serta membantu memasarkan produknya sehingga dapat memperluas jangkauan pemasaran produk para penyandang disabilitas. Dengan demikian, maka pendapatan para penyandang disabilitas akan meningkat.Kata Kunci: Koperasi, Disabilitas, Platform Digital, Covid-19
