There are major expectations associated with the period of adulthood, determined by biological, legal, social and cultural factors, necessary to become successful, which is not an easy task. Hence the transition into adulthood requires many developmental changes and challenges, particularly important for setting the stage for continued development through the life span. Adolescence and adulthood of people with intellectual disabilities appears a big challenge for parents and teachers, especially if perceived through expectations towards them. People with profound intellectual disability remain in a very specific circumstances, since their needs and developmental changes associated with becoming adolescent or adult are not noticed.

The life of a human is based on an active interaction with other people. The right perception of other people plays a vital role in the regulation of the person’s relations with the environment. Understanding other people and the way they are perceived is the foundation of the expectations and allows to predict their specific behaviours. Stereotypes and prejudices accompanying the process of perceiving other people cannot be omitted. Persons with disabilities remain the group of people being especially affected by social stigmatization and therefore the perception of this group of people became a subject of the present article. The work has an empirical character. It presents changes in the perception of people with disabilities by students social pedagogy and educational care with school pedagogy.
