PERALTA LOPEZ, Feli  e  ARELLANO TORRES, Araceli. Self-determination and autonomy of people with intellectual disability: the status of the issue in Spain. CES Psicol [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.2, pp.59-77. ISSN 2011-3080.

The concept of self-determination reflects the right of individuals to act as the main characters of their own life. The exercise of this right influences significantly the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities. This article presents a summary of the main achievements that occurred in Spain about the movement towards independence and self-determination of this group. To aim this objective, we have reviewed the most significant contributions, which have been emerging since the 90s, regarding the concept of self-determination, the instruments for evaluation and suggestions for educational intervention. Finally, we present some unresolved challenges that remain to be faced in the full development of this basic right.

Palavras-chave : Self-Determination; Autonomy; Independence; Intellectual Disabilities; Educational Intervention; School Based Intervention; Literature Review.
