Life on the margins of society has often been a feature of people with intellectual disabilities. They were rejected and without the right to vote. Even today, the situation is not much better, they are equal on paper and the reality is still lagging behind. With the advancement of technology, the individual is viewed as an individual with different needs. People with intellectual disabilities show the most difficulty in the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Growing up means employment, independence, leaving one's parents, starting a family. Working ability is a prerequisite for marriage, for the willingness to care for another person. Absence of work creates material deprivation that disrupts family relationships. Material deprivation is a step towards poverty that poses a threat to the individual and to the family. A social worker can provide legal assistance to a person with intellectual disabilities in situations such as assistance in gathering the necessary documents to exercise certain rights or be a mediator in discussions with higher authorities. As a rule, they help them to inform about their rights and help them to exercise their rights.
