The way the modern world goes gives rise to the necessity of changes in the education system. We cease to be a homogeneous society and allow diversity and difference in many aspects of our life. Disabled individuals and their position in various life structures constitute elements of the puzzle called otherness. School makes a perfect place to start educational jobs which involve promoting acceptance and tolerance towards others. Educators deal with those aspects of their work which lead to evoking proper behavior and the right attitude towards disabled people. One vital step ahead in making children aware of the problem is to open their eyes to the hierarchy of values.

The purpose of the article is to present social determinants of age-related disability derived from the actual definition of disability according to World Health Organization. This definition emphasizes social causes of disability determined not solely by physical impairment but also by influence of physical and social environment. The environmental characteristics may lead to minimization or intensification of experienced impairment effects. Similarly in the case of disabled people in older age some aspects of social life may further limit their physical ability or even play a dominant role in the process of premature and pathological aging, what is confirmed by richly cited research studies in this area. The major attention was paid to: feeling of loneliness of seniors, social prejudices and discrimination because of age, overprotective attitudes, social unawareness about the reality of biopsychosocial condition in older age or insufficient adaptation of physical environment not satisfying older people needs. The study is completed by the problem of positive social support in the area of the complex functioning of the aged.
