In the conclusion the answers are given to the following questions: What kind of modification did the portrayal of a person with intellectual disabilities in his development in the literature for children and youth in Slovakia undergo? What is the meaning of thematisation of people with intellectual disabilities in the literature for forming attitude of intact population towards them?
