Social assistance of the persons with disabilities in romanian legislation

Summary/Abstract: Social assistance is a reality as old as human history, for at least two reasons: first of all, all collectives have always had individuals who, for genetic, natural or social reasons, were unable to to satisfy their needs by their own means, secondly, in no type of civilization was the total lack of care for the members in difficulty. Thus, poverty, disabilities, the existence of orphans and abandoned children, the elderly and without family support are old problems since the world, which mankind has tried, throughout history to solve by calling on various internal structures and mechanisms of adjustment. , some spontaneous and others institutionalized. Disability is the diminution of the person's ability to adapt to the demands of the physical and social environment as a result of his deficiency and the incapacity resulting from it. The handicap represents the reduction of human functions at different levels compared to the normal functions of a normal man. The one with a disability does not have the physical possibility to naturally carry out the ordinary activities that are required to be performed in a certain period of time. People with disabilities encounter cultural, physical or social barriers that impede their access to different systems of society or limit opportunities to take part in community life on an equal footing with others. They are protected in institutions such as special hospitals, asylums, rehabilitation centers for invalids and other specialized institutions, without granting the right and effort to reintegrate into society.
