The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between Executive Functions and Satisfaction with Life in people with disabilities. We worked with a sample of 40 participants between 20 and 64 years old, belonging to a day center for people with disabilities in Tungurahua. The research presented a quantitative approach, with descriptive scope and a non-experimental design was used. Two instruments were used for data collection: the INECO Frontal Screening (IFS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The results revealed that there is no significant relationship between Executive Functions and Satisfaction with Life. However, the low scores in Executive Functions suggested that a large part of the participants could have characteristics of cognitive impairment, on the other hand, regarding the second variable, the majority of the population reported high levels, that is, they were very satisfied with their life. Finally, a gender comparison was made to find out who was more satisfied with their life, but the results did not reveal significant differences.
