According to the Law of the Republic of Croatia, disability is a permanent limitation, reduction or loss of ability to perform a physical activity or mental function appropriate to a person's age and refers to abilities, in the form of complex activities and behaviors, which are generally accepted as essential components of everyday life. People with disabilities are often neglected and convicted in society, and the most often reasons for this are ignorance, easy acceptance of other people's opinions and lack of information. Children develop attitudes from the earliest age (fourth/fifth year of life), and the family and children's peers play the greatest role in their development. The purpose of the study was to examine the attitudes of primary school children (5th to 8th grade) towards people with disabilities and the relationship between the frequency of contact with people with disabilities and the children's demographic characteristics to differences in attitudes. The study was performed by using the CATCH scale and student responses were collected in a Google docs format with secure distribution. The sample was consisted of 120 predominantly female students. The results show the relatively good attitudes of primary school students and the further need to educate students from an early age so that one day all persons with disabilities will be fully integrated and accepted in society. Changing attitudes is a lengthy process and, although they can only be changed at an early age, it is important to teach children about disability from an early age and not to present it in a negative context because the children will develop unrealistically based attitudes towards people with disabilities that lead to exclusion and false impression of people with disabilities.
