The term bilingual education for deaf people means teaching the use of two or more languages, at least one of which is a sign language. Its introduction in educational systems around the world depends on many factors, such as the educational management system, the way education for people with disabilities is organised, historical, social and economic conditions. It is therefore difficult to identify a unified model for the education of people with hearing impairments. The opinion presents solutions used in 15 EU countries and the United States.

The aim of the study was to compare two groups of volunteers who work with people with disabilities: volunteers working in organizations led by social innovators and volunteers who are not affiliated to such organizations. The results show a different picture of both groups in the area of the declared value, objectives and attitudes towards people with disabilities. Volunteers working with social innovators have lower rates of misanthropy, higher individual indicators of social capital, and a higher rate of partnership and innovative attitude. The paper presents guidelines how to work with people with disabilities to maximize their integration into society and create social change.

The public transport system is one of the key factors determining the economic and social development of modern cities, faced with the goal of providing convenient connections between different areas of the functional structure, i.e. ensuring high comfort and short travel time, while minimizing environmental impact. However, it is worth asking: is creating such a transport system possible, does it exclude certain social groups, and is it capable of satisfying the needs of all users? More and more modern planners and transportation engineers are facing this dilemma. According to many scientific publications, universal design is the answer, hence shaping public spaces and the transport systems with awareness of the diversity of the human collectivity in terms of sex, age, physical ability and health condition. Elderly people above 60 years of age and the disabled, who have various types of mental, physical and sensory dysfunctions, are at the greatest risk of social exclusion. These groups of people encounter many architectural and transportation barriers in their daily lives that make it impossi - ble for them to move freely, thus limiting their access to education, employment and culture. Only through analysis of the existing transport system, identification of transportation barriers, and the appropriate decisions to eliminate them can this exclusion be counteracted and a city without barriers be created – a free city where every resident can move easily, whether they are blind, hard of hearing or a wheelchair user. This article defines the concepts of elderly and disabled people and presents the barriers most frequently encountered in city transport systems. Moreover, guidelines for designing a transport system according to the needs of the analyzed group are proposed. The results of survey studies conducted in Oswiecim and Cracow concerning assessment of public transport and its adaptation to elderly and disabled people are a significant part of this article. Results and conclusions obtained from studies can be an inspiration for other cities that want to create a transport system adapted to the needs of the analysed group, however it is also worth remembering that shaping public spaces and transport “for everyone” is only possible by engaging all parties interested in the problem, i.e. above all, elderly and disabled people as well as city authorities, and then making every effort to reach a consensus between these groups.

The issues related to the role of the family in the process of creating relationships with ill and disabled people are discussed in the article. All individuals posses concepts of the disabled that form their attitudes towards such people. The image of a disabled person is responsible for one’s attitude towards the handicapped. The family should create an environment where children observe and learn positive patterns of behaviour towards people with disabilities which, in turn, form the basis upon which children’s attitudes are shaped. The process of perception of other people is dependent on many factors – one of them is the family. The author draws attention to the issue of gender in disability. The term “disabled person” turns out to be gender neutral. Women with disabilities consider themselves to be treated as a “third sex”. The discrimination of disabled women results from a lack of sensitivity to the sex of the disabled. This points out the need to change the attitudes towards people with disabilities in early childhood as well as the necessity to pay more attention to the gender of disabled children. Sex becomes a matter which is forgotten, perhaps even becoming irrelevant. Women and their function are pushed into the background, which results in the gender-related stereotyping of their social roles, a more difficult way of career advancement (the so-called “glass ceiling effect”), lower wages for women working in the same positions as men, and the low participation of women in public life.

The aim of this paper is to examine the varied perspectives of relaxation stages and techniques used with mentally disabled pupils developed by the French neuropsychiatrist. This article presents evaluation of the widespread use of this method among disabled children and describes numerous benefits of its use in the regulation of emotional and neurovegetative disorders, neuromuscular dysfunctions and neurotic syndromes. The extensive use of Wintrebert’s method gives almost unlimited possibilities of application in therapy, rehabilitation and education of disabled people; the described method may also be a important component of healthy lifestyle.

We describe a remote alerting system for disabled people. The purpose of the system is to enable a monitored person to easily request medical assistance by pressing a single button on a wearable transmitter device. It should be noted that the handicapped person does not need to take any other action, such as picking up the phone. Upon triggering, the system is capable of automatically alerting the medical personnel, indicating the location of the alert using a digital transmission system or a speech synthesis module. Our system operates using primarily telephone links of any kind (PSTN, GSM, etc.). The system is intended for use by older or disabled people living alone, who may suddenly require immediate medical assistance, in particular, the people with physical disabilities and cardiovascular diseases.

Public transport should be available to all its users. If public transport means are not adjusted, or are not fully adjusted, to the needs of disabled and older persons, it makes an obstacle in their free movement within a city. It needs to be remembered that disability, as well as limited physical fitness, and their likelihood are increasing significantly after the age of fifty. Having identified this area during pre-audit analyses, NIK – for the first time – conducted an audit of the access to public transportation for disabled persons, taking into account its organisation, as well as the adjustment of vehicles and bus stops to the needs of these persons in ten cities in Poland.

The paper presents possibilities of the carriage of disabled people and people with reduced mobility by available means of municipal transport in Szczecin. The carried out analysis was based on the comparison of the actual number of rides accomplished by bus and tram carriers, paying particular attention to the use of low-floor vehicle fleet. Design and functional solutions applied in modern urban vehicles being imposed by legal regulations in force were referred to. The possibility of approach to selected public utility buildings, placing emphasis on health care centres, therapeutic and rehabilitation institutions, out-patient clinics, hospices, veterans home, etc. was compared. Despite the fact that evaluation of the actual state of accomplishment of the issues under discussion relates to local community, the conclusions being formulated and the observations being made are of a more general nature. This is because the needs of disabled people have been understated or completely ignored for many years due to which their consideration has to take place by way of expensive and long-term changes. In that respect, pointing to and efficient elimination of the areas of dysfunction in modern transport systems becomes a necessity since similar problems are being met every day by passengers in all larger agglomerations.

Analysis of praxic movements (PMA) is a novel approach to graphical user interface development, based on natural human behaviour. In a PMA-based interface, each screen element is related to a single function performed by the computer system. When the user points to a screen element, the related function is activated. A PMA-based interface is supported by an AI component responsible for detection and interpretation of the pointing action. The dynamics of pointer movements over the screen is a sole source of the information processed by PMA, while all other input signals are neglected. Those properties of a PMA-based interface make it a convenient tool for creation of simple and intuitively operated human-computer interfaces for the disabled.

The article represents analysis of modern scientific approaches to education of people with special needs in higher educational establishments. The state of issue elaboration by native scientific area has been given. The legislative foundations of inclusive education in universities of Canada at the national and provincial levels have been outlined. Canadian legislation foresees elaboration of inclusive curriculum and programs, policy and services, educational equipment, teaching techniques and evaluation methodology, overcoming of existing barriers (extra difficulties, support in needs), creating friendly surrounding through the policy of tolerance, improvement of teaching stuff qualification in the work with students with special needs, work with the secondary education system to promote transition to higher education system, work with business community aimed at promotion of transition from higher education to the world of work, collecting statistical data to monitor, prevent and improve systematic discrimination and manage educational policy and processes. Important role in providing educational and social development of people with special needs is played by national and public organizations. Institutional policy concerning adaptation of and access improvement for students with special needs is fulfilled in most universities and colleges. Peculiarities of inclusive education of students with special needs at Canadian universities have been characterized. Inclusive education in Canada had some barriers and resistance of educators but with the time passing positions of educators were changing from adaptation to detailed and positive acceptance of inclusive practice. Basic issues of scientific research in the period of inclusive movement were implementation, financing and support, professional development. Philosophic assumptions concerning inclusive movement were based on social justice, civil rights and equity and gradually differed from the concepts of exclusivity and special education. In the result of research recommendations concerning realization of inclusive education in higher educational institutions of Ukraine have been offered.

Kynotherapy is one of the innovatory methods of disabled children therapy ‘a dogassisted therapy” generally speaking is a method helping and strengthening rehabilitations with a dog’s participation which is properly selected, trained and led by a qualified therapist. In 1964,a child psychiatrist Boris Levinson noticed while observing autistic boys in contact with dogs that these animals had caused that autistic children having a communication problem in building up social contacts, established a contact with a dog without any trouble, and it gave a chance for a contact with a therapist in the future. For a working ‘therapy dog’ are selected and trained the representatives of breeds with mellow and good-tempered temperament, well-balanced psyche, patient, obedient and devoted to man. According to therapists an ideal dog in terms of character is one called a social dog, that is such a dog which except mentioned above features will be obedient not only towards people whom it knows well, but also towards every person it meets. A dog selected for work with disabled people has to be a completely foreseeable dog, that is the one which has encoded invariable features of character by his genes. Moreover, it is important that the therapy dog would not have aggressive, apprehensive, or ill ancestors in his pedigree. The main effect of this kind of a contact therapy consists in the physical contact (stroking, cuddling up to a dog, shaking the dog’s paw) and establishing psychical ties with the animal what has a positive influence over the course of the treatment. Despite many inconveniences kynotherapy gains more and more followers in rehabilitation of disabled people. The changes that have occurred for last several years in this innovatory therapy allow to suppose that kynotherapy will be developing incessantly, and ‘dog therapists’ will be able to reach to more and more large number of people in need.

The Italian welfare system is looking for new models. In fact, the current system has lived through some years of structural crisis which has several causes: excessive rigidity, inadequacy to respond to the new social demands, the inability to sustain ever increasing costs. It is not easy to imagine what will be the welfare model of 2020: one of the possible hypotheses in the field is the development of the so-called “fourth sector”, represented in a particular way by the family associations. It is a relatively recent phenomenon, which draws, in the national outlook, increasing attention and significant development. The family, in this context, takes on a new role: not just a recipient of political attention, but a true engine of action and change. The central feature of this phenomenon is the self-help between families which have common problems and which identify common practices. The paper reconstructs the outline of the phenomenon in the national context and suggests working paths for social policies. The family associations, as activators of social relationships between people and groups, are a generator of social capital. In this sense, they are an essential resource for a new type of welfare: no longer based on a combination of need/service, but truly able to be generative.

The article discusses the situation of disabled people pointing to the barriers they face in their daily lives. According to the logic of the EU local government has a duty to include enable people with disabilities in the society. Local government actions are supported by the EU’s strategic initiatives. The most important of these is the European Disability Strategy 2010–2020 Case. Renewed commitment to a barrier-free Europe. The document indicates 8 areas in which action should be taken to the inclusion of disabled people, to which overarching objectives and actions foreseen at the level of strategy were aassigned. The authors of this paper propose a model to include activities, which may be undertaken by Polish local governments (community level) grouping them as those addressed to the living space and the immediate surroundings and the wider environment of residence.

The problem of disability affects more and more people every year. One of the obstacles to their proper functioning are everyday problems connected with mobility. The aim of this article is to find out the opinion of disabled people living in Northern Wielkopolska on the quality of infrastructure, its adaptation and accessibility for the disabled as well as to present improvements which would enable disabled people to use public transport services safely, freely and comfortably. On the basis of the survey, it may be concluded that the basic problem of road infrastructure from the point of view of people with disabilities is the low quality of access to stops, roads, pavements and high kerbs, poor adaptation of public space or very wide transport and lack of reconstruction of some places and road fragments. Added to this is the average quality of adaptation of public transport for people with disabilities.
