Life with Disabilities: Analysis of Social, Educational, and Reproductive Needs of Individuals with Disabilities

The key research theme of CV FHS is the examination of the life situations of individuals with disabilities, whose disadvantages due to health conditions or unfavorable life circumstances hinder the fulfillment of their social, educational, and other needs on an equal basis with others. Specific attention is given to a triad of topics that currently resonate in both domestic and international discourse on disability: (1) Partnership and reproductive needs of individuals with disabilities, (2) Social aspects of inclusive education, and (3) Impact of social services on the quality of life of individuals with disabilities. Within this research program, CV FHS contributes to the development of current themes related to the quality of life of individuals with disabilities, both in a national and international context.
