Streszczenie
The article is theoretical and concerns the situation of people with intellectual
disabilities in the world of changing disability paradigms. The main
thesis is based on the observation that the changes potentially brought by
ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
in Poland may generate for this group (along with its parents and other
supporters) a number of difficulties and doubts related to the practical
implementation of the new model of approach to disability. For the purposes
of the analysis, a VUCA scheme was used based on the categories
of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity – corresponding to the
assumptions of applied sociology.
