Summary/Abstract: Social workers are tirelessly fighters for the cause of people with disabilities. They advocate for the latter’s’ rights, promote their inclusion in society and work to improve their general well-being. This paper analyses this social work “segment”, the work with people with disabilities, by outlining the legal framework and social services in relation to these beneficiaries. The aim of the qualitative research is to identify the beneficiaries’ perception, people with disabilities from the Territorial Administrative Unit Grădinari, on the social services they benefit from and in relation to the relationship with the social worker. It also aims to identify the social worker’s perception on one’s activity in the interaction with people with disabilities. Most people with disabilities are satisfied with the benefits and services they receive. Some interviewees feel that there is room for improvement, but still appreciate the support provided. All participants have a good opinion of their social worker, who is praised for one’s kindness, patience, involvement and calmness. The conclusions underline the variety of services offered, the variety of impairments the social worker works with, but also the social worker’s involvement and the beneficiaries’ satisfaction with the social services received and with the case manager.
