15.8% of people with disabilities feel “isolated” from the rest, according to the PARTICIPA project

Interpersonal relationships are one of the fundamental dimensions of quality of life, essential for human development and life satisfaction. The PARTICIPA project of the Institut Guttmann, which aims to identify the barriers and facilitators that determine the daily lives of people with disabilities, has studied this factor in a cohort of more than 2,000 people with disabilities from all over Spain. The results indicate that 15.8% of people feel “isolated from others” and 17.3% perceive that “people are around them, but not with them”. These data have been published in the Revista Española de Discapacidad (Spanish Journal on Disability).
