Sažetak
People with mild intellectual disabilities often face discriminatory behaviour in everyday life. The aim of this qualitative study was to gain insight into experiences of discrimination of people with mild intellectual disabilities. The participants were 25 people with mild intellectual disabilities. The research was conducted during 2014. Their experiences indicate that they have experienced direct and indirect discrimination by persons from their immediate social environment with whom they interact almost daily. This paper provides the basis for the conclusion that discrimination affects the inability of people with intellectual disabilities to realise certain social roles, such as the role of a respected employee, mother or friend of people without intellectual disabilities. It influences their quality of life because they face it in different life domains. Discrimination reduces life opportunities of people with mild intellectual disabilities, often resulting in social exclusion and lower quality of life.
