Summary/Abstract: Problems of disabled adults have been described in special education literature relatively rarely as this realm of pedagogy focuses mostly on children and the youth. Nevertheless, for the past few years the interest in this group of the disabled has been increasing. In my research I aimed at the influence of a parent’s disability on a family’s effectiveness and, as a result, on children brought up in such a family. Parents define and stabilize their children’s value hierarchy. During the analysis of researched cases I focused especially on fulfilling economical, emotional, childcare, socializing and protective (towards children as well as towards parents) functions of pensioners’ families.
