Abstract
The main purpose of the research was to determine the level of autonomy of adults with more severe intellectual disabilities (N = 133) living in different environment. The perspective of adults living with their parents (N = 62), residents of nursing homes (N = 40) and residents of LArche homes (N = 31) was considered. The age of the respondents ranged from 18 to 68 years (M = 38.82; SD = 12.71). The diagnostic survey method was used. In order to collect the necessary data, the authors Interview questionnaire with an adult with intellectual disabilities was used. The nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test and multiple comparison tests (post hoc) were used in the analysis. The obtained results indicate that adults with intellectual disabilities living with their parents, as well as residents of LArche homes have a significantly higher level of autonomy than residents of nursing homes.
