Summary/Abstract: Despite many legislative and financial actions, the labour market of people with disabilities, is characterized by their low professional activity. This is a visible contradiction to growing expectations of disabled people community, especially those young and well educated, who are more convinced of the value and need of professional work. Despite many inconveniences associated with performing their professional activity, working is a source of satisfaction for them. Treating people with disabilities as equal and equal citizens in the sphere of work is one of the condition to the process of normalization and their social integration. In breaking the social stereotypes connected to employment of disabled people, those factors may play the biggest role: quality of created law, spreading good practices through employers and promoting successful careers of people with disabilities.
