Abstract
Background:
The refugee situation in which the Sahrawi people live entails precarious policies, services, and care systems. People with disabilities suffer even more from this situation, seeing their quality of life diminished.
Purpose:
To evaluate the personal outcomes related to the quality of life of the students at the special education school in Auserd.
Method:
The KidsLife and KidsLife TEA questionnaires were administered to the 26 students from the special education center during March 2019.
Findings:
The results obtained from 100% of the participants display percentiles below the minimum values of the scale, with the most positive scores found in the Emotional Well-being domain and the least positive in the Social Inclusion domain.
Conclusions:
The quality of life of the students at the special education center in Auserd has deteriorated due to the social, environmental, and political factors they face. Furthermore, it is necessary to have tools adapted to the context.
