Students with Special Needs in the University Environment

Summary/Abstract: This paper provides an insight into the opportunities of employment and personal life development of young people with special needs. One of the ways to ensure this development is university education. The paper contributes to the understanding of the legal environment in Slovak Republic, specifically regarding the conditions for university students with special needs. The state’s legal measures are supposed to assist talented young people with special needs to acquire the appropriate education, in order to use their skills to benefit them and the society in general. Disability limits opportunities, thus, it is the state’s duty to eliminate the inequalities and to provide the same conditions and opportunities for everyone. State is obligated to do so, regarding the universally comprehensive legal instrument for the protection of human rights of people with disabilities – The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Genuine implementation of the convention provides the conditions for meaningful life for people with special needs, promotes the possibilities of development of their gifts that benefit others, and strengthens their own sense of dignity
