The article presents the new course offered by the Maria Grzegorzewska University - Interdisciplinary Disability Studies - against the Polish higher education system with special emphasis on issues relating to the historical and modern organization of teacher training for special educators. The Interdisciplinary Disability Studies course is a unique program in Poland that is based on a new, positive and multifaceted approach to and understanding of disability. The authors analyze the legal foundations of the new program, explain the need to open the program, describe the graduate's profile and refer to the curriculum. They describe the history of Polish special education: from the beginning of systemic teacher training for special educators through Maria Grzegorzewska's activities to modern times. They show the place of Interdisciplinary Disability Studies in Polish special education and in worldwide Disability Studies in that context.
