Throughout history, we come across many terms of addressing people with disabilities, due to the intolerant attitude towards children and people with disabilities. Attitude by definition is a complex process based on experience. The dominant negative opinion about disability led to feelings of fear, repulsion, insecurity, pity. According to the law, a person with a disability is a person who has a long-term limitation, impairment or lack of ability to perform certain physical activities or mental functions in accordance with their age. People with disabilities in society and the media are often represented through their impairment, lack or inability to perform certain actions in society. A bigger problem than the disability that a person has is prejudice, discrimination, stigma and violation of human rights, these are the common challenges faced by people with disabilities. The purpose of this work is to determine how much modern society is informed about certain disabilities, this is achieved by examining the attitudes of the general population towards people with disabilities. The aim was also to examine the differences in attitudes in relation to socio-demographic data of respondents in relation to gender. 224 respondents participated in the research, of which 146 were women and 78 were men. The research results show a positive attachment to physical disability, while psychological disorders are still largely rejected. This data from the research tells us that a lot of prejudices against the mentioned disability are rooted in society. It takes a lot of effort by all individuals of the population who believe that we are all equal, in order to achieve greater sensitivity between all people and to better understand people with disabilities. Positive conditions in which people with disabilities will interact with the rest of the population can create a better integration of attitudes towards disability and people in society.
