The growing interest in the quality of life of people with developmental disorders is important for decision making and designing care programs, developing resources, guidelines, strategies and relevant criteria for differential provision of resources and support. A good predictor of quality of life is self-determination which seeks to develop strategies focused on the person and their needs from a holistic perspective for life and development. Advances in the understanding and the development of theoretical models and practices aimed at promoting self-determination demonstrate the importance of knowing the effect of individual and environmental conditions on the acquisition of skills that enable a person to act as a causative agent of their life. The aim of this study is to analyze the results of major research studying the role of these conditions on the acquisition and expression of self-determination in adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Documentary research is used for the study of documents of the past fifteen years published in leading databases of education and psychology. The results show the impact and correlation of multiple factors on learning and expression of self-determination. The results and their impact on the design of training programs in self-determination in adolescence are discussed
