Abstract
More than 17 years after the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic still does not have a comprehensive disability discrimination law based on social and human rights models. The Czech disability law has not fully reformed yet and relies on outdated law in many areas of life, causing discrimination against individuals with disabilities and their families. This process of development is similar to other postcommunist democracies where reforms started at political and economical levels, with the social area falling behind. This article is a brief report on the current state of Czech disability law and policy using examples of several case studies to illustrate the challenges people with disabilities face in contemporary society.
