Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the participation of people with disabilities in the society. Participation is one of the central concepts in international documents that were created under the influence of the social model of disability, which has shifted the focus of responsibility from one’s impairment to his/her environment. Review of experiences of adults with disabilities regarding the obstacles they face in relation to employment, intimate relationships, marriage and parenthood shows that the intensity and quality of participation of people with disabilities depend on a complex interaction between a person’s characteristics and specificities and his/her immediate and wider environment.
