Jaka polityka społeczna wobec rodzin z osobami niepełnosprawnymi w Polsce?
What should be social policy towards families with disabled persons in Poland?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to answer the question to what extent the applicable solutions in Poland concerning support of the disabled and their families lead to their social inclusion. Based on the analysis of some selected spheres of life the diagnosis of life situation of families with the disabled persons has been made in the last some years. It is very difficult, social disability model assumptions are not realised in practice though they are entered in a lot of formal documents. Social policy towards the disabled and their families should be reconstructed starting from the change of the dominant paradigm. It should not be seen only as cost, burden on the public finances but it ought to be considered as investment in human capital, long-term activity of cross-sectoral intities which aim is to gain results in the future according to investment principle stating that measures are taken and resources dedicated to obtain the ”reimbursement”. Current standards in the European Union also obligate us to these changes.
