Abstract. Socio-pedagogical dimensions in the education of learners living with disabilities. In recent years the concepts of educational inclusion and inclusive education, which are linked to the new human rights-centred approach on disability, gained a fully legitimate place as key terms both in guiding action oriented social research and in shaping social and educational policies in this field. Yet, the pace of change towards the new outlook and new policies concerning the educational opportunities and services available for disabled learners are hindered by a series of obstacles. These are generated, on the one hand, by still unresolved conceptual and methodological problems and on the other hand by the persistence of outdated institutional structures and mentality. After a presentation of the theoretical and historical background of occurring changes, the following paper will discuss possible causes which have led to the present situation, and will also outline potential solutions and ways for improvement.
