In last two decades family quality of life studies -were oriented to families -with disabilities. International teams of experts created measuring tools for this field. The aim of this study is to investigate quality of life in families -with disabilities with focus on correlation of values, interaction with community and family quality of life. The Family Quality of Life Survey (Brown et al., 2006), translated on Croatian language (Zic-Ralic, 2011) was used. In this paper results on one domain of family quality of life will be shown. That domain is about values and results show its influence on family quality of life. The sample consisted of 51 parents of school age children with disabilities, who live in their own families and attend special education system in Zagreb, Osijek and Varazdin. Results show that there is statistically significant correlation between some dimensions of "Value " domain and overall quality of life and satisfaction with quality of life of family with children with disabilities. Furthermore, there is statistically significant correlation between level in which community accept child s disability and support families in coping with problems and overall quality of life of family with children with Down syndrome.
