Prawo do nauki osób z autyzmem w polskim szkolnictwie wyższym – założenia i doświadczenia praktyczne na przykładzie projektu NO‑AUTism
The Right to Learn Applied to Persons with Autism in Polish Higher Education – Assumptions and Practical Experiences as Exemplified by the NO-AUTism Project

Summary/Abstract: Considerable advancements in the accessibility and – as a consequence – in the scale of Polish higher education have not been proportionately represented in such niche spheres as teaching persons with autism. Therefore, the genuine enforcement of the nominally universal right to learn may be put into question. Whether the said questioning is substantiated or not and whether there are in fact positive perspectives of solutions to the problems that have arisen – are the main challenges faced by the organizers of the NO-AUTism project – along with the attempt to scientifically explain them. The project itselfhas been planned and already initially implemented (with the Department of Public International Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Bialystok, as the project leader, and with participation of both university and external entities, planned for the years 2015–2019, financed with the funds from Santander Universidades programme). What served as immediate inspiration of the project were the actions pertaining to education, socialization, and providing proper support within the mentioned areas to the PhD candidate with dysfunctions and his family. The research carried out (as a part of the project) are aimed at analysing the education system of persons with autism on the level of higher education, in addition to surveying the relevant legal regulations, as well as cultural determinants related to educational capabilities of persons with special educational needs in Poland and abroad.
