Quality of life can be defined as the disparity between realized and unmanaged human needs. Specifically to each individual, but also to the culture and values to which that individual belongs, becomes important when defining identity. There is a particular impact on the lives of people with disabilities and their families, who are still between two different approaches: biomedical, seeking to eliminate disability, and social, trying to teach society to embrace persons with disabilities in the same way as all other members. The research was carried out 2017./2018. year in the wider Split area, and the sample referred to parents of children with developing disabilities. The aim of our research was to give insight into the quality of life of parents through a series of objective and subjective dimensions, as well as social support, which we found to be important. According to our goals, our research has 73 shown that our participants are in a disadvantage when it comes to linking their material revenues and covering their costs. It is also possible to determine their dissatisfaction with their own health condition (either physical, or psychological). It is generally possible to claim that parents are related to close family members and wider families (albeit to a lesser extent) and have not been exposed to different degrees of stigmatization. In general, they were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with the rights they have as parents of children with developmental difficulties, as far as support is concerned, it is possible to state that: the family is the largest source of social support for parents.
