Abstract
dvancing age impose several challenges to the necessary care to adults with disabilities. There are various transition phases throughout life, they can mark the future of the disabled person: the completion of schooling, then try in to new social and work environments, change of residence, or the permanence within the family after school. Whatever the variable, it may notal ways bein line with the need soft he people involved. So that these changes can be best experienced by the disabled person and his/her family, as seen in some research and experiments with assisted technologies. These experiences have allowed autonomy and living in different social environments. These practices not only emphasize the application of technology but, above all, the continuous reflection and search of Quality of Life (QoL). This article reflects on path ways and actions, in Italian and European projects that seek to associate technology with QoL, where technologies and assisted living environments play a central role, as inclusion models, possibilities of independence, participation and well being.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
