title: [3 years constitutional amendment in favor of handicapped patients--legal heights or political quagmire?].
abstract: In light of the recent constitutional amendment on behalf of people with disabilities, the present article inquiries into the tangible consequences the ban on discriminating against disabled persons has had in the various domains of social life. Dealt with is a gradual deterioration of the conditions disabled persons are faced with in the fields of work and occupation, as well as in the care and residential sectors. A central issue is the debate surrounding the "right" form of educational enhancement of disabled children and young people, in terms of its broader political implications. Positioning a maximum of life opportunities and societal inclusion as the guiding rule of any activity in the educational domain as well, is pleaded for.
