	Special rights of persons with disabilities in terms of non-discrimination

	Discrimination based on disability is indicated in the Polish legal system as one of the prohibited discrimination criteria. However, the definition of the term “disability”may cause difficulties due to the differences in the meaning of this term on medical and legal grounds. There are diverse models of perceiving disability that affect not only its various definitions but also influence the existing forms of assistance and means used to combat discrimination. Limited ability to work makes people with disabilities particularly vulnerable to discrimination in the sphere of employment. Special rights for people with disabilities are aimed at reducing or completely eliminating existing barriers that prevent these persons from fulfilling their social roles. The purpose of this study is to discuss the special rights of people with disabilities in the sphere of employment, with particular emphasis on the employer’s obligation to provide the disabled person with the necessary reasonable improvements. The analysis of the existing legal solutions leads to the conclusion that further legal and social changes are necessary, with the main emphasis on the elimination of social disability.
