Abstract

Svaka osoba ima pravo uživati u vlastitim pravima i mogućnostima te samostalno
donositi odluke o svom životu. Međutim, osobe s intelektualnim teškoćama ne mogu u
potpunosti biti samostalne i uživati u životu na onaj način na koji bi one to željele.
Uz sam invaliditet, odnosno niži stupanj funkcioniranja i nižu inteligenciju, najveću
prepreku predstavlja im okolina koja ih smatra djecom i zbog koje se ne mogu u
potpunosti uključiti u zajednicu i uživati jednaka prava kao populacija osoba bez
invaliditeta. Zbog stigmatizirajućeg stava okoline onemogućena im je potpuna
inkluzija i ostvarenje vlastitih potencijala, a zbog takvog stava mnogo češće postanu
žrtvama nekog oblika nasilja. Sve to utječe na kvalitetu njihova života, a subjektivni
doživljaj iste se razlikuje od osobe do osobe, pa su tako neke više, a neke manje
zadovoljne kvalitetom svog života, no jedno je sigurno – kvaliteta njihova života
može se poboljšati. Stoga smatram iznimno važnim da se okolina, u jednakoj mjeri
kao i osobe s intelektualnim teškoćama, informiraju i upoznaju s njihovim pravima,
obvezama i mogućnostima te da se provedu istraživanja koja će dati relevantne
rezultate i stvarnu sliku o kvaliteti života osoba s intelektualnim teškoćama.

Abstract (english)

Every person has the right to enjoy their own rights and opportunities and to make
their own decisions about their lives. However, people with intellectual disabilities
cannot be completely independent and enjoy life the way they would like to. In
addition to the disability itself, ie a lower level of functioning and lower intelligence,
the biggest obstacle is the society that considers them children and because of which
they cannot fully integrate into the community and enjoy the same rights as the
population of people without disabilities. Due to the stigmatizing attitude of the
society, they are prevented from full inclusion and realization of their own potentials,
and due to such an attitude, they become victims of some form of violence much more
often then others. All this affects on the quality of their lives, and their subjective
experience is different from person to person, so some are more and some are less
satisfied with the quality of their lives, but one thing is for sure - the quality of their
lives can be improved. Therefore, I consider extremely important that the society, as
well as people with intellectual disabilities, has to be informed and acquainted with
their rights, obligations and opportunities, and that there is a need to conduct a
research that will give relevant results and a real picture of the quality of life of
people with intellectual disabilities.
