The purpose of this study is Independent-living factors have a lot of effects on the quality of lives of people with developmental disabilities, and the investigation of factors related to vocational rehabilitation that support their independent living is one of the most important tasks that should be completed in the vocational rehabilitation policy making or in the process of service development. In this context, the purpose of this study is to investigate the mediated effect of both living-independent factors of adults with developmental disabilities and trait factor of vocational rehabilitation that seem to exercise influence on the quality of life of people with developmental disabilities. The subjective point of views such as independent-living and the factors of the quality of life was considered in the selection of participants, and this study was done in the way of face-to-face interview with participants who are workers with developmental disability and trainees working for vocational rehabilitation institutes and users of rehabilitation programs of local communities among adult people with developmental disabilities who are now experiencing trait factors of vocational rehabilitation to verify the mediated effect. The analysis results are as follows. Firstly, this study found there is a strong correlation among independent-living factors, the factors of the quality of life and the trait factors of vocational rehabilitation of people with developmental disabilities. Secondly, the levels of physical and economic function among sub factors of independent-living of people with developmental disabilities and the quality of life have a high correlation. Thirdly, vocational rehabilitation factors work as mediated effects of independent-living and the quality of life of people with developmental disabilities. That is to say, if vocational rehabilitation factors increase, their independent- living factors and their factors of the quality of life rise in a positive way. Based on the results of this study, practical suggestions were presented to improve the Independent- living and quality of life of people with developmental disabilities.
