Abstract

Completion of post-secondary education is associated with better access to employment and is an important way of increasing quality of life rates for people with intellectual disabilities; and even though inclusive university programs have increased around the world, little is known about how they directly impact the quality of life of students with ID. Target: Know how participation in a university program for students with intellectual disabilities contributes to their quality of life. Method: The Comprehensive QOL Scale for people with ID and Development was applied and the results were analyzed considering variables of course, role and gender of the participants. Results: An increase is observed in all the dimensions of the QOL and in the total index in the higher courses. Parents evaluate all QOL dimensions with better scores than students. Both groups (students and their parents) believe that the program has contributed to improving the quality of life and state that greater instances of participation with non-disabled peers are needed.
