Abstracts

EN

The system of disability assessment in Poland is based on a two-instance structure. The main role is played by district disability assessment boards, which perform tasks assigned to the counties (county – powiat). This is an exclusive power, entrusted exclusively to these bodies, while maintaining the course of instances. People with disabilities, whose physical or mental capacity prevents or complicates their education, work and social roles require equal treatment. A disability certificate entitles disabled people to numerous benefits and preferences, and protection in this area is guaranteed and implemented by the state. This is the subject of interest of pedagogical, political and legal sciences, and the authors of the study have addressed related issues.
