Disability of an adult reveals itself before someone becomes adult, i.e. in developmental age, but in later life as well. It is connected with different level of physical and/or mental disability, with different durability and different level of obstacles in everyday life. Disability is conditioned by differentiated internal, external, bio-psycho-social and cultural factors and is a category and field of cultural research in special andragogy. This paper is thought as a draft of conceptualization of selected issues in the area of culture of the disabled and foundations of model of cultural study.
