| Sumario: | Currently, the intervention models for individuals with Developmental Disabilities (DD) focus on Quality of Life outcomes (QOL). The goal of this study was to analyze the QOL of adults and to determine the influence of personal and dis-ability factors in QOL. A sample of 119 adults with DD (91 male and 28 female; age: M = 45.68; SD = 12.57) participated in the study. The QOL was assessed by the Escala INICO-FEAPS. T contrast were conducted to compare outcomes in adults with DD with the norm, and ANOVAs to examine the differences between the dimensions of QOL and the incidence of the studied factors. Outcomes show that adult people with DD informed low levels of QOL, specifically in Interpersonal Relationship, Social In-clusion, and Self-determination. The most factor that influence on QOL perception was the level of dependence. In conclusion, the results show that professionals assess better the QOL than the own individuals with DD. |
