Summary/Abstract: This article aims to highlight the changes in higher education that are taking place in the context of the challenges of educating students with diverse needs. Societal understanding of disability brings with it the need to improve the situation, and the Accessibility for Persons with Diverse Needs Act motivates universities to increase accessibility.

It also presents good practices having been implemented for years at the University of Silesia in Katowice and current activities aimed at realizing the idea of equal opportunities by implementing the assumptions of the Accessibility Act.
