| Summary: | Three the most influential models of employment of persons with special needs -sheltered workshops, supported employment and self-employment - were recognized in the light of social constructionist views of language role, that is, of critical discourse analysis and ideological critique of modern society that is fostered by social model of disability. Sheltered workshops are presented as a relic of past and the main advocate of deficit language and medicalization of disability on which based the medical model (or model of personal tragedy). The others approaches are understood as alternative in the sense that they are put in the broader framework of anthropological optimism insisting on a self-actualized tendency and a saved (developmental) potentials hidden in each individual. Nevertheless, neither of them spared critical analysis since they are outcome of influence of self-regulatory mechanisms of modern society structure.
