Individualized budget programs embody this approach, enabling participants to control resources and improve quality of life. This study, framed within self-determination theory, aimed to evaluate the contribution of Israel's individualized budget program. The analysis examined pre- and postprogram psychosocial outcomes—life satisfaction, subjective well-being, social participation, choices exercised, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and loneliness—with exploratory analyses conducted within two groups: individuals with mental health disabilities and those with physical or sensory disabilities. Methods: This pilot study included 21 participants enrolled in the program, with mental health (n = 15) and physical/sensory disabilities (n = 6) subgroups. Data were collected at program entry and follow-up, and paired-sample t tests were used to assess pre–post changes in psychosocial outcomes. Results: For the total sample, significant improvements were observed in life satisfaction and subjective well-being. No significant changes were found in social participation, choices exercised, self-efficacy, self-esteem, or loneliness. Exploratory analyses within disability subgroups revealed different patterns of change across these measures. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: The findings highlight individualized budgeting's potential to enhance psychosocial outcomes, particularly life satisfaction and subjective well-being for the total sample. Exploratory analyses within disability subgroups suggest potential differences in program benefits that warrant investigation in larger studies. Impact and Implications: This pilot study provides initial evidence that Israel's individualized budget program, an implementation of the personalization approach, may significantly improve life satisfaction and well-being among participants with disabilities, with potentially distinct patterns between mental health and physical/sensory groups. These preliminary findings suggest the potential need for disability-specific implementation strategies in personalized funding programs and contribute quantitative evidence from outside Western contexts, addressing critical gaps in the existing literature on personalization and individualized budgeting approaches. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
