Sumario:Having a disability necessarily affects young people’s life project. This paper describes and compares the level of empowerment in a sample of students with disabilities and its association with typology, degree and time passed from diagnosis of disability. 123 university students with motor, intellectual or sensory disabilities answered an on line questionnaire, the Spanish version of the Rogers, Chamberlin, Ellison and Crean Scale (Rogers et al.1997). It is a scale designed to measure empowerment which includes five factors: Self-efficacy-Self-esteem, PowerPowerlessness, Community activism, Optimism-Control over the future and Righteous anger. Results show moderate levels of empowerment, which were higher among the students presenting a motor disability, a higher degree of disability and an acquired disability. The results suggest that the ability can vary and evolve, and therefore it is important to promote empowerment by implementing programs that encourage in-action.
