The right to employment is the right of every single person. Employment is also an indicator of a person's quality of life. Nowadays, we try to provide the best possible quality of life for people with intellectual disabilities. An important factor in this is also social inclusion in regular environments. Until recently, regular employment of people with MDRs was not possible because the legislation did not allow it. With the adoption of the Social Inclusion Act (2018), the possibility of finding employment for people with MDR in a regular work environment is explained for the first time in Slovenia. They were involved in forms of employment in regular environments run by protective work centres. Persons employed in such forms of employment have more opportunities to interact with persons without MDR. Previous research, therefore, has established a link between the employment of people with MDR in regular settings and mostly socially included personality with MDR in all areas. The selected areas are important parts of the quality of life of people with MDR and the essence of the newly adopted law on social inclusion of the disabled (2018). In this research with the help of four user employees in supportive forms of employment in a regular work environment, I investigate user satisfaction with employees and factors of social inclusion of persons with a man in mental development. I collected data through a partially structured interview and analysed them using a qualitative research method. In doing so, I conducted 12 interviews, 4 with users and their employment mentor and group user habilitator. In the research, I find that users are satisfied with their employee in supportive forms of employment in a regular environment. Above all, so pleased that the work takes place outside the institution. Mentors perceive them as good workers and are happy with them. Users can be heard both in the collective and in the wider social environment. The amount of time spent in a regular employment environment does not affect the experience of user acceptance. Accepted are heard by both users who perform work over a longer period of time and users who perform work several times a week for several hours.
