Background/objective: Adult Lower Secondary Education is an education program for basic qualifications for the labor market. Our study aimed to compare lifetime mental health problems between current Adult Lower Secondary Education students and higher Vocational Education students, as the former constitutes a highly distinct and understudied group.
Methods: Findings were based on a cross-sectional self-report survey. Lifetime relative odds of occurrence of mental disorders [i.e., psychiatric disorders typically diagnosed in adults, learning difficulties or deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)] were compared between Adult Lower Secondary Education students (n = 134) and Vocational Education students (n = 149).
Results: While the frequency of mental health problems was high in both groups, psychiatric disorders typically diagnosed in adults were more common in Adult Lower Secondary Education students than among other students. Vocational Education students reported higher rates of ADHD.
Conclusion: There is a need for additional psychological resources for Adult Lower Secondary Education students, an educational level that is the last path for many to acquire a basic degree.

Achieving a collaborative relationship between professionals and families is one of the most powerful tools for meeting the needs of people with intellectual disabilities. In the framework of a qualitative research , 40 individual interviews were carried out with parents of children with intellectual disabilities, with the aim of purpose to analyse their perceptions of the interaction they have with professionals. For this purpose, and from agreement with the Family-Centred approach (FCE), the following categories were considered as indicators of a good professional internship : speech, commitment, equality, skills, honesty and respect. 68% of the interviewees have a good or very good experience of their interaction with professionals, but detect shortcomings that point to the need to be addressed from the perspective of this emerging approach . The specific meaning of each category is discussed, based on the perceptions of the families.

The results of research suggest that self-determination is one of the variables that determines, in part, the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and their recognition as members in their own right plenary session of the Executive Council . This article presents a synthesis of the main ideas about this construct: factors that enable the origin and development of this movement, conceptual models, instruments of assessment and suggestions for intervention. For this purpose, an exhaustive review of the most significant literature on the subject has been carried out. The efforts aimed at promote this basic right allow us to affirm that self-determination has ceased to be a wish and has become a reality.

Quality of life allows us to assess the well-being of people with intellectual disabilities and their families, as well as the adjustment of supports to their needs. Among the domains of quality of life described by experts, self-determination plays a central role in achieving a fulfilling life. This article presents a study with a sample of parents (n=40), who were given a semi-structured interview in order to objectively assess the quality of life of their children. Some of their concerns regarding each domain of quality of life, especially self-determination, are described. The data results indicate that parents perceive an acceptable level of general well-being in their children, and are satisfied with the personal and social progress they have made. However, they also identify obstacles that seriously compromise quality of life such as the lack of services for social participation promote , the emotional and financial cost of disability, or the scarcity of opportunities for self-determination. These results confirm the need to obtain objective and subjective measures of quality of life in order to identify priority areas for improvement and make the necessary adjustments.

Self-determination is considered to be a basic human right which, to develop, demands contextual opportunities as well as individual competencies. For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the family is the natural support environment in the task of increasing control over their own lives. There is little, however, that has been published in Spain on the needs and strengths of families in this regard. This article presents a study carried out in Spain on the knowledge, attitudes and strategies that a sample group of parents (N = 201) have regarding self-determination. An analysis of the data gathered highlights the need for intervention proposals to prepare parents to further their children's self-determination, through collaborative partnerships and through cognitive restructuring.

On the other hand, the approach family-centred intervention (FCI) is analysed from a theoretical-applied perspective. Results. In line with the literature, the parents in this study consider that the experience of disability has meant challenges, worries about their children's future and a certain additional burden, but also an enrichment staff and family. The following are highlighted as factors core topic to achieve quality of family life: collaborative relationships between professionals and parents, the identification of family strengths, or the development of the parents' perception of control and self-determination skills.
