Summary/Abstract: In the last decade, the quality of living of disabled people has become the most discussed issue among professionals, politicians, academics and disabled people themselves. In this review we shall look at the disabled people's contribution to the development of theories, to setting up social services and making new legislation, which all provides for a better quality of living for them and increases their participation in the community. We are also going to present the first steps that the "Group for Independent Living Split 95" in Croatia has made, while aspiring to a better quality of living for themselves and for other disabled people in the country.
