Social policy of the local government unit as an initiator of good practices in activating the disabled

Summary/Abstract: The issues of people with disabilities analysed for the purpose of developmental strategies of towns and local government units constitute a motif hardly ever discussed in literature on special pedagogy. Yet, this subject cannot be recognized as insignificant – developmental strategies are important documents which initiate good practices in the field of many social activities. The study is aimed at presenting possible directions in acting for the disabled within the social policy (which is exemplified by the case of the Silesia Voivodeship) and signalling the potentialities of this policy as a tool for initiating, integrating and reconstructing good practices leading to normalization of this group’s environment. What is presented in the article is basic information on particular strategies, possible contextual approaches to including the issues of the disabled in these strategies and a sample set of goals and undertakings for this group, extracted from the social policy of the Silesia Voivodeship for 2014–2020.
