Social model of disability is important theoretical concept of this research because it was drawn from the movement of persons with disabilities and represents a foundation for perspective change when considering position that persons with disabilities and their families have in the society and considering responsibility of society in formation of disability (Rioux & Carbert, 2003., Shakespeare & Watson, 2002., Bynoe, Oliver, Barnes, 1991). Social model is based on the principle of human rights in the area of disability, which is important for achieving social justice on the basis of human rights which is also a prerequisite for social inclusion of all members of society and, finally, also important for the development of community that respects and accepts the rights of every person and implements them trough systems of support (Wronka, 2008., Zaviršek, 2009). In that sense, in this research the context and contribution of Croatian society to the quality of life of families with children with disabilities is presented from the perspective of parents of children with intellectual disabilities through biographic approach and life story methodology. Research is based on respecting opinions and experiences of parents of children with disabilities about the quality of life of their families in order to provide insight in the family life flow to discover main events, factors that contributed to them and to provide recommendations for the development of community to ensure the better quality of life and implementation of rights. Qualitative methodology was used to collect life stories of 9 families from three regional centres of Republic of Croatia, Zagreb, Osijek and Split. Scientific contribution of this research is using contemporary concept to reflect on position of persons with disabilities and their families in the society which considers society responsible for creating disability trough physical, psychical and social barriers. This contemporary approach respects the right to declaration, representation and respect of persons with disabilities and their families and thereby provides guidelines for change and development of support system in community according to world and European strategies for this area.
