Desarrollo autónomo de las personas con discapacidad

Abstract

The thesis was carried out with the objective of analyzing the autonomous development of people with disabilities at the San Pedro de Pelileo Foundation. For this, a methodology that is based on the qualitative approach of descriptive scope was applied. As a technique, an open interview was designed to talk about dependency, which is a fundamental point of autonomy. This instrument presented open questions to allow interaction with the participant and delve into the indicators of autonomous development and disability. Nonstatistical sampling was used at the convenience of the researcher and a group of 23 participants was selected to whom the instrument script was applied through three groups of parents or caregivers, foundation professionals and patients. With the analysis of the information, it is concluded that autonomous development can be influenced by a series of factors such as: physical and mental health, social and family support, accessibility and physical environment, assistive technology, education and training, attitude, motivation, access to services and resources, social and family environment. In this case, the San Pedro de Pelileo foundation promotes the autonomous development of people with disabilities through various academic, recreational and therapeutic activities. It can be seen that people with disabilities have in a certain way developed their autonomy regarding domestic and academic activities such as painting, drawing, knitting and dancing. However, there is a need to insert people with disabilities into society through productive activities that allow autonomous development at a social level
