	Abstract. The aim of the present study was to find a relationship between the family quality of life and the quality of life of young adults with intellectual disability. 27 individuals with a mild intellectual disability were examined: 14 men and 13 women. Their average age was M = 18.89 (SD = 1.25). The family quality of life was assessed by the subjects’ mothers. In the study were also used the Family Quality of Life Survey – general version (FQoLS-2006) and the Quality of Life Profile. The research results demonstrated that two general indicators of the family quality of life reached values slightly below average: general assessment and general satisfaction. The domains of family quality of life which were rated best included: Family relationships, Health of the family, and Spiritual and cultural beliefs, while the lowest rates were attributed to Support from other people, Support from disability-related services, and Financial well-being. Young adults with mild intellectual disability have evaluated the quality of their lives as high. The positive associations were found between the family quality of life and the quality of life of young adults with mild intellectual disability.
