Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the problems of narrative from the developmental perspective and in logopedic examinations. It attempts to closely examine the causes of failures to produce nar­rative utterances in the group of people with mild intellectual disability. The starting point is the adopted assumption that the situation of an intellectually disabled person as an utter­ance producers is “exceptional”. Their linguistic behaviors take place in different conditions that can be outlined in most general terms as: fragmentary knowledge of reality, limitations connected with understanding phenomena and perceiving them through senses (percep­tion disorders). Children in this group not only acquire the knowledge of the surrounding reality more slowly but do so in a fragmentary way.
