Od interdyscyplinarnego do transdyscyplinarnego spojrzenia na niepełnosprawność

Disability is a complex subject, concerning various aspects of life. Generally, it may be permanent (significantly affecting the individual’s life) or temporary (fully or partially recoverable when appropriate therapy or specialist care is provided). To define it correctly, we must take into consideration the relationship between human health (including such factors as gender, age and education) and social circumstances. The problem of disability is approached from different perspectives offered by the following five disciplines: medicine, psychology, pedagogics, sociology and law. An in-depth analysis of these approaches helps to better understand the problem of disability and difficulties disabled people face.
