Factores mediadores en la adquisición y desarrollo de la autodeterminación en adolescentes con discapacidad intelectual

Abstract

This paper analyses the results of several investigations that study the mediation of individual and environmental factors in the acquisition and expression of self-determination in adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A documentary research is conducted, with a review of twenty research articles. The results show the impact of a wide range of factors and multiple correlations between them. Their study contributes to better understanding of its impact on the construction and expression of self-determination and justifies actions designed to promote full self-determination.
