I am not necessarily going to seek a degree. I just want to be able to provide for my family.

I'd say computer skills...programming, web design, and IT. Anyone in a company who can troubleshoot computer problems or come up with newer and easier ways to manage the computer systems is going to be needed.
Where I work we have a disabled man running the entire website for the company and he's one of the most important people on the staff (also makes a lot of $$$).
Another option would be teaching. My favorite high school Math teacher was disabled. You would need a Master's in Math (or whatever subject you'd like to teach) plus a teaching degree, so it might take a little longer, but the pay and job security would be good.
It all depends on what kind of disability you're dealing with and what you most want to do. I don't really see why you couldn't get into any field you want! It might just take some creativity to figure out what area of the field would be most compatible with your abilities.

Without knowing your specific disability, it's hard to tell. Also, are you in the USA or elsewhere?
Most colleges will have advisors who know a lot about careers, and in the USA they also have a disabilities services coordinator who takes care of things like the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act when students need it. They'll be able to guide you to appropriate careers and to help with any special accommodations that your disability requires.
If you're elsewhere than the USA, I'd still recommend asking at the school. A person who uses a wheelchair, for example, would have a different range of potential careers than a person with one hand, or a person with vision impairments.

Physical disability never affects intellect. You should be able to take any program you wish.

perhaps computer classes? It's a high paying career, depending on your skill with technology.
