Although it may be challenging to unambiguously recognize and define it, the notion of experiencing happiness, a constituent of psychological well-being, is undoubtedly one of the key traits featuring every person, whether intellectually fit or disabled. The feeling of happiness plays a significant role when coping with various types of situations including also the circumstances faced by an intellectually disabled person. Due to the diversity and multeity of the dimensions where it occurs, the experience of happiness can be subject of analyses from various stances, including the viewpoint of an intellectually disabled person. It seems that the disabled individual’s ability to deal with difficulties, which also influences efficiency of the rehabilitation process, is actually determined by the feelings of happiness, content and optimism, all of which remain in a relation with one’s personality, life situation,and conditions in which they live. The article draws attention to the subject of experiencing happiness by and psychological well-being of intellectually disabled people. It emphasizes the possibility of both theoretical and practical applications of assumptions of positive psychology as a requisite condition for the optimization of functioning of intellectually disabled people. Beyond any doubt, due care for the intellectually disabled people’s experience of happiness and psychological wellbeing is one of the most crucial requirements of their rehabilitation process as “positive states of mind (…) provide the power to struggle with adversities of life”Anna Porczyńska-Ciszewska, Intellectual Disability and Experiencing Happiness.

Humans as social beings feel natural attraction to being with other people, i.e. to establishing and maintaining relationships. Affiliations, such as friendship or love, significantly influence their development from the earliest years of life, either enriching or disturbing the quality of their functioning. Therefore, thosewho due to their health status or another life situation are marked by otherness, must be prepared to endure hardships. Consequently, persons with disabilities experience failures in their interpersonal contacts. They are often devoid of the opportunity to have a good friend or to experience true love, which may exacerbate their already difficult situation, often triggered within a family setting, where there was no acceptance and/or insufficient quality of parental love. All human beings, children in particular, need closeness and affection. Only then do they develop properly, experience happiness, see the meaning of their lives, feel loved and are able to reciprocate that love. Experiencing a disability or being a parent of a child with a disability may make love more difficult, perhaps even impossible. However, the desire for love can be so strong that it will manage to overcome all obstacles. Unfortunately, it may as well make life a grey existence filled with loneliness and suffering.Jolanta Lipińska-Lokś, Love experienced by persons with disabilities.

Rozumowanie przez analogie oparte na materiale geometrycznym u uczniów niewidomych
Get PDFAnalogical reasoning constitutes one of the ways the blind get to know the world; it enriches information and influences thinking. The purpose of the article is the presentation of results of research on reasoning using geometric analogies in blind pupils aged 10, 12 and 14. The study encompassed a group of 63 blind pupils and 63 seeing pupils. The study used the twelve series B matrices from the Progressive Matrices of John C. Raven. A detailed analysis of the dependencies between the variables permitted the determination of differences between groups of pupils in terms of reasoning using geometric analogies.Analogical reasoning constitutes one of the ways the blind get to know the world; it enriches information and influences thinking.
