The aim of this paper is to explore the position of people with disabilities in society and what it affects them. People with disabilities are one of the most vulnerable social groups that face the many difficulties they are most likely to encounter and later social exclusion stemming from the severe poverty-stricken position. Numerous studies point to a close link between poverty and disability, the fact that disability is an increased possibility for the poverty of persons, and poverty for worsening the health of the person with bad influence on the existing disability. The social and environmental barriers encountered by everyday people with disabilities lead to the return of their position and prevent their integration into the community. Therefore this paper deals with the review of the position of persons with disabilities within the framework of ecological theory that allows to review the factors that affect the poverty and social exclusion of persons with disabilities through certain systems. Also, the work deals with unemployment and education as the main source of poverty and infrastructure problems as one of the sources of social exclusion for people with disabilities. In order to make positive changes to the problem, changes are needed at the personal level of each person, but also at higher state levels. Domestic and foreign literature was used to better understand and understand the position of people with disabilities.
