Diplomski rad „Mogućnosti neovisnog življenja osoba s invaliditetom iz perspektive stručnjaka s područja Osječko–baranjske županije“ prikazuje preliminarne rezultate jednog dijela znanstveno – istraživačkog projekta „Platforma 50+“ (2020 – 2023). Projekt provodi Zajednica saveza osoba s invaliditetom (SOIH) zajedno s partnerima: Edukacijsko–rehabilitacijskim fakultetom Sveučilišta u Zagrebu i jedanaest saveza osoba s invaliditetom, članova SOIH – a. Prof.dr.sc. Daniela Bratković koordinatorica je projekta ispred Edukacijsko – rehabilitacijskog fakulteta. Glavni cilj ovog diplomskog rada bila je analiza glavnih pretpostavki ostvarivanja neovisnog življenja odraslih osoba s invaliditetom iz perspektive stručnjaka koji im pružaju podršku. Princip namjernog uzorkovanja je korišten kako bi se mogao provesti fokus grupni intervju sa skupinom sudionika s područja Osječko–baranjske županije. Stručnjaci su iz različitih sustava, ali imaju iskustvo rada s osobama s invaliditetom. U svrhu kvalitativne analize dobivenih rezultata koristila se tematska analiza (Braun i Clarke, 2006) tijekom koje su definirana četiri tematska područja: obilježja svakodnevnog života; oblici sustavne i stručne podrške i mogućnost izbora; pristup prostorima, objektima i uslugama; te samoodlučivaje, uz pripadajuće teme i podteme. Rezultati istraživanja pružaju uvid u mogućnosti i prepreke te neke preporuke za ostvarivanje neovisnog življenja osoba s invaliditetom iz perspektive stručnjaka Osječko–baranjske županije.The diploma thesis "Possibilities of independent living of people with disabilities from the perspective of professionals from Osijek - Baranja County" presents the preliminary results of one part of the scientific research project "Platform 50+" (2020 - 2023). The project is carried out by the Association of Persons with Disabilities (SOIH) together with partners, the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Zagreb and eleven associations of persons with disabilities, members of SOIH. Full professor Daniela Bratković, PhD is the project coordinator in front of the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation. The main goal of this thesis was the analysis of the main assumptions of achieving independent living of adults with disabilities from the perspective of professionals who provide them with support. The principle of purposive sampling is used in order to conduct a focus group interview with a group of participants from Osijek-Baranja County. The professionals are from different systems, but have the experience working with people with disabilities. For the purpose of qualitative analysis of the obtained results, a thematic analysis was used (Braun and Clarke, 2006), during which four thematic areas were defined: characteristics of everyday life; forms of systematic and professional support and the possibility of choice; access to premises, facilities and services; and self-determines, along with related topics and subtopics. The results of this thesis, as well as research, provide insight into the possibilities, preparations and some recommendations for achieving independent living for people with disabilities from the perspective of experts from the Osijek-Baranja County
