Education dedicated to the health needs of pupils disabled because of chronic diseases in Poland remains an empty term, a chair without a backrest. In this article, suggestions of changes in the educational system are presented. These suggestions, thanks to support from interested therapeutic teams, have a chance to fulfil the educational gap in the area of chronic diseases and proceeding with disabled pu-pils at universal teaching institutions in Poland due to the introduction of health educators.

A health educator is a person suffering from type 1 diabetes, educated during specialised postgraduate studies conducted at the Medical University of Lodz. The aim of this article is to show the importance of the health educator’s role in the education process of children and youths disabled because of chronic diseases, at educational institutions of the Polish system of universal education.
