People with intellectual disabilities (ID) face unique challenges in their everyday life. Therefore, the task of social institutions is to develop specific measures, to evaluate and adapt them accordingly. The Haus der Barmherzigkeit Integrationsteam (HABIT) has the task of regulary assessing the quality of life of residents in an appropriate manner. The clients supported by HABIT are primarily people with severe intellectual disabilites, whereas there are no methods for assessing the quality of life of people with these needs.

The aim of the project is to record quality of life in a way that is specially adapted to the target group, in order to ensure that the current situation and the needs of HABIT residents can be represented as accurately and truthfully as possible.
