It's about ability

Highlights
•This wave reveals substantially less extensive visibility of the campaign relative to the previous research waves.
•There is a possibility that the campaign „It’s about ability“ was seen by lower percentage of citizens than registered in this research, but echo of other campaigns, such as the campaign on foster parenting, kept the recorded visibility still rather high. This synergy of campaigns is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that the percentage of citizens who agree that child with disability who has no parental care would be better off in a foster family than in a home, has grown for 15% compared with the previous wave.
•However, lower campaign intensity hasn’t provoked negative change of citizens’ attitude towards children with disability. On the contrary, the key indicators have either stayed at the same level or they suggest substantial improvement.
•Citizens of Montenegro evaluate attitudes of the people around them towards children with disability somewhat more negatively than their own.
It is obvious that citizens who have noticed the campaign „It's about ability“ know more about children with disability, and that those who have no contact with children with disability are less likely to have positive attitude towards them.
It is therefore necessary to encourage activities aimed at contacts of general population, and especially children, with children with disability.
