Abstract

This study examines self-determination and quality of life of ten adolescents with intellectual or developmental disabilities schooled in Regular Educational Centers. A case study methodology, descriptive-interpretative, is selected. The results are positive in five of the seven dimensions of quality of life; improved in the case of self-determinations, where a low perception of the ability of these teens to act self-determined is observed. It stresses the close relationship between higher quality of life and self-determination, and other variables (educational environment, thachers’ attitudes, influence of family-school relationship in opportunities for teens).
