The article discusses the results of censuses conducted in 1978, 1988 and 2002 with respect to the disabled people in Poland. The aim of my analysis is to present the dynamics of disability as well as the changes in the diversification of that community as far as sex, age, place of residence, education, marital status, major source of income and finally, employment are concerned. The results of the analysis point to over twice as large rise in the number of disabled people in the past 25 years, rise in the scope of disability which correlates with old age, female sex, and residence in the country. Moreover, there are a significant socio-demographic diversification and stability of correlates of their disadvantageous situation in comparison with 'able' individuals. Finally, I am presenting the benefits stemming from comparative census data for verification of various hypotheses formulated in the basis of other kinds of research (a chance of secondary research) and any future studies of disability.

In the article a problem of relations between disability (that can be perceived in many various aspects, e.g. as a social fact, existential or biographical experience, socio-cultural phenomenon) and pedagogic as a discipline creating the individual identities is outlined. The theoretical background of the presented considerations concerns on the implications of changes connected with the way of understanding significant categories, especially the concept of subject in a contemporary philosophical context and social sciences. The main thesis emerging from the analysis let us state that the general object constructing a field of special pedagogic - disability and disabled person - is missing it's incisive and objectified boundaries and states under the question many of its basic foundations.

Statistical data show that the problem of disability has a wide social dimension in Poland. Addressing the problem requires not only the strong involvement of the appropriate organizations but also the cooperation of numerous state-run institutions. It was anticipated that Poland’s joining the EU in 2005 would improve life for the country’s disabled population. The European Union coordinates and often even imposes the establishment of anti-discriminatory life conditions for all individuals and social groups in member countries. In seeking equal opportunities for all people, the EU attaches great importance to eliminating both the social and labour barriers the disabled face. The aim of the paper is to analyze the socio-economic situation of Polish households with disabled persons relative to other households for the years 1999−2009. The analysis shows that the disparity between these social groups not only did not decrease, but actually increased slightly.

Faith in God plays an extraordinarily significant role in the life of handicapped persons and of their guardians. Most respondents treat faith as a support and a source of strength for resolving problems posed by everyday life. The more difficult the living situation caused by the level of the disability, the deeper the trust in God and giving oneself up to Him is. Every third subject of the study indicated that without faith he/she cannot imagine his/her life, and nearly every fifth respondent is convinced that owing to faith the miracle of healing and return to a complete ability may happen. The Holy Mass is a profound religious experience for most of the respondents, giving them consolidation in their difficult living situation. Only few treat the Holy Mass as a habit, a custom, or a thing that is necessary because of the pressure from the people around them. Also the fact that persons with a considerable disability declare experiencing the Holy Mass more profoundly than those whose physical status is decidedly better is an important observation.

The aim of this work is the attempt to determine the future demand for places in social aid homes for those over 60 and 75 years of age in 2010-2030. The projection was made in four variants. In the basis variant changes in the frequency of disability were assumed. In another ones, the percentage of disability was decreased by 2%, 1% and 0,5%. According to the basic variant of the forecast, the number of residents of social aid homes at the age of over 60 will increase by 72% within the space of 25 years, from 41 850 in 2005 to 72 080 in 2030. However, the number of residents who will be over 75 will almost double. According to the second variant of the forecast, (the declarations of disability will be lower by 2%) the number of residents aged 60 and more will vary from 39 390 and 41 740, and of those aged 75 and more will increase by 21% from 21 910 in 2005 to 26 680 in 2030.

The issue of disability should be considered in the context of the family, for it is the family that accompanies the disabled person from the very beginning. It becomes his or her best and surest support, in the economic, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. Concentration, however, on the individual that is most in need causes the whole family system to fail its function with time. Limitations that result from the fact of disability are real threats that the family may become marginalised or even eliminated from social life. The family is not able to overcome crisis on its own, thus supportive institutions and organisations play an essential role. The State Rehabilitation Fund for the Disabled (Pol. PFRON), urban and rural social work centres are leading institutions in supporting families with the disabled persons. In order to obtain aid from PFRON, however, one should be resourceful, well-educated, and well-off. Now social support centres concentrate only on those families that are the poorest, uneducated, and live in villages and small towns. It follows from research that families are considerably supported by institutions, although they only to a small degress satisfy the needs of the families under study.

The social life of disabled people is understudied despite the fact that it is a burning social issue. The author concentrates on rehabilitation as a system of institutions (in contrast to the other perspective on rehabilitation that places an individual in the centre of attention and thus treats rehabilitation as a social process). Rehabilitation is defined at a purposeful act. In order for this act to be meaningfully conducted (and analyzed), it is necessary to define (1) the grounds for decision making (2) diagnosis and (3) the criteria for effects evaluation. In the first domain the author advocates the view, that rehabilitation is not only a process of regaining physical health, but also - and perhaps more importantly - a return to society: to family, social and professional life. The dimension of diagnosis is analyzed through the two case studies (research on people after heart attack and after the amputation of one or both legs). Medical factors did not affect the decision to return to work. The social factors - such as type of work, education and age - appeared to be more crucial. In the third dimension the evaluation of the efficiency of rehabilitation is difficult due to a number of uncontrolled intervening factors. The author suggests that the problem can be solved by means of (a) the operationalization of all rehabilitation procedures and (b) defining the rehabilitation goals so that it will allow deriving the criteria for judging the degree of success (or failure) of the process.

The aim of the study is to present the role of studies in the process of coming out of the stigma of 'the other', which is commonly attributed to disabled people. A statement that higher education increases the chances of disabled on the job market is a truism. The authoress tries to answer the question: what to do in order that disabled undertake studies more eagerly? On the basis of the data already available as well as her own empirical studies, she demonstrates the picture of the educational space of disabled in higher education.

People with disabilities represent one of the excluded groups whose narratives are not listened to, noticed or treated on equal terms with the narratives of others. Thus, the aim of the authoress' research project was to listen to stories told by those who became disabled in adulthood. Using the narrative interview method she invited and encouraged the disabled to tell stories about their lives, about some significant life episodes, and about how they experience disability in general. Disability triggers great many changes and makes it necessary to redefine one's life and identity all over again. The analysis of life stories obtained from those experiencing disability in adulthood has provided some concepts of biographical learning e.g. 'breaking' of biography, turning point in biography, floating in adulthood. Experiencing disability is one of the situations where emotions show. Therefore, some of the narratives are filled with emotions, which she, as a researcher, also absorbed.

The object of the authors’ considerations is the concept of the dignity of a disabled person. The paper presents various ways of understanding the notion of dignity in philosophy and Christian theology, focusing on its individual and social aspects. The dignity and equality of all human beings are emphasized in many international legal acts. Nonetheless, it is often claimed that the dignity of people with disabilities is endangered. We describe some theories which concern the concept of the dignity of these people: 1) regarding people with disabilities as exceptional, with special dignity, 2) the ideas of personalization, 3) inclusion, 4) normalization, and 5) emancipation. It is concluded that in the humanist vision the dignity of a person with disabilities is one of the most essential values.

The authors present financial aspects of the lives of the disabled living in the Lubelskie Voivodship in the context of age. All the data included are a result of empirical studies conducted in the rural areas. From the presented findings it ensues that the younger the age category of the respondents, the stronger the sense of the material wealth and higher economic status. The above attitudes are a result of better adaptation of the youth to the realities of everyday life and diversified sources of income. Taking this into consideration, it needs to be said that despite major economic problems the rural disabled face, we can observe systematic change in the awareness of this social group.

The paper presents the influence of activity by organizations and associations on tourist-recreational activeness for disabled people within the Lubelskie Voivodeship. It has been shown that expectations addressed by disabled people to organizations, specialized institutions and associations for their assistance in organizing physical activities for the disabled are comparable to those submitted to their closest environment, namely family and friends. In the opinion of the disabled, these institutions do not fully carry out their tasks under the statutory guidelines. Disabled people, mostly alone or with the help of their closest supporter, organize physical and rehabilitative activities. In the case of disabled workers, the workplace provides them with some assistance in organizing their free time. The main barriers that limit the participation in tourist-recreational activities are, most of all, costs of participation in such events, the lack of offers from organizations and associations, and the sparse marketing activity from tourism-sector companies.

Human rights protection system defnes the rights of not only single individu- als, but whole groups of society. Te political space is a visible area that is not quite „free” from the manifestations of unequal treatment. Examples are, even minimal, noticeable on the political agenda and the electoral environment targeted at people with disabilities foundation program / election. It is worth considering the direction in which this phenomenon should evolve. Both the analyzed programs as well as slogans appearing before the actual announcement of the election campaign and the political debates arise the need for a slogan of the new legislation, or improvements of existing legislation. But it would be most efective work across party lines, the implementation of the multi-phase, regardless of the parliamentary majority and non-parliamentary party, environ- mental activities for people with disabilities.

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.

It isn’t a subject of controversy that the media– radio, television, Internet, newspapers, books, have a great impact on us, fulfilling the role of the „Kantian” glasses through which we view the world. Disability, until recently treated stereotypically and hermetically media devote more attention. The image of disabled people is constantly changing, being shaped by the environment of skilled and specialized. Therefore it seemed important to examine and compare the opinions of physiotherapists and journalists on the subject, including journalists with disabilities. The aim of this study was to identify the opinions of journalists and physical therapists on the perception of the image of a disabled person in the media.

This paper approaches the issue of disability in the 50s and 60s in Poland. There are two main objectives of the article. Firstly, the author examines the so called individual (medical) model of disability as way of understanding and conceptualizing disability in 20th century. He points out its main features, assumptions and argues that this model was a basis for Polish state politics towards the disabled in the post-war period. Secondly, he focuses on the rehabilitation, especially medical rehabilitation treated as the main manifestation of individual model of disability. The paper approaches the reality of rehabilitation in the 50s and 60s in Poland presenting the case of the rehabilitation of polio survivors.
