24. Interaction with children with disabilities
Similar to previous waves, two thirds of the citizens (66%) know some child with disability or
parent of child with such or similar problems – no differences were recorded between 1st 2nd 3rd
4th and 5th wave. The differences also were not registered when it comes to percentage of the
citizens who socialized with children with disabilities or those who state that their children
socialized with such children.
However, in comparison with the last wave, this wave records somewhat higher percentage of the
citizens (mainly those who have noticed the UNICEF campaign and those with university
education) who claim to be informed about children with disabilities.
In comparison with the period before the campaign “It’s about ability” percentage of the citizens
who think that in population of children up to 18 years of age there are up to 10% of children
with disabilities has increased significantly. Also, this wave records a significant decrease of the
citizens who are not able to assess the percentage of children with disabilities (from 30% in 2010
to 15% in 2012). In comparison with the last year, this wave doesn’t record significant differences.
75% of the citizens of Montenegro think that child with disabilities could become a famous artist,
businessman, successful politician or statesman in Montenegro one day, which is increase of 13%
in comparison with the wave conducted in December 2012.

95% of the citizens of Montenegro think that the state and society should do everything
in their power to ensure equal opportunities and chances for children with disabilities.
This exceeds by 5 percentage points the results of the previous wave, which is
statistically significant on the level of 0.05. The difference is also significant in
comparison with the beginning of campaign.
In comparison with the previous wave percentage of the citizens who think that
children with disabilities are equally valuable members of society, as well as all other
citizens has not changed significantly, but in comparison with the period preceding the
campaign „It’s about Ability“ an increase of 18 percentage points was recorded , which
is statistically significant on the level of 0.05 (this opinion is now shared by 92% of the
citizens, while in 2010 it was shared by 74% of the citizens).
This wave registers significant increase of the citizens who think that By providing
professional assistance and through special relation of society and institutions, it is
possible to FULLY enable a child with disabilities for life in society; 26% of the citizens
currently share this opinion , while last year this opinion was shared by 19% of the
citizens.
In comparison with the last wave (December 2012.) no significant differences were
found in the attitudes of the citizens about inclusion of children with disabilities into
the system of regular schools in Montenegro. The achieved level of change relative to

44. Day care centers for children with disabilities
In day care centers, children with disabilities daily
participate in various educational and creative activities
which stimulate their development, and they are
organized by professionals of various profiles.
Children stay in day care centers for several hours a day,
which allows their parents to be employed or to do some
household chores during that time. In this way help is
extended to parents of children with disabilities, and
separation of these children from their families is
prevented
By creating a network of day care centers, which will cover
every municipality in Montenegro, separation of children
with disabilities from their families will be prevented, and
number of institutionalized children will be reduced.

Small group homes imitate the family environment and
they represent an alternative for children who are
institutionalized, but not a replacement for the right of
every child to live in a family.
Therefore, small group homes are temporary
accommodation until conditions arise to return the child to
his/her biological family; to find a foster family for the
child; to adopt the child or prepare him for an independent
life.
In one small group home, a maximum of five children are
accommodated, together with experts who give them love
and professional help for proper growth and development
in the atmosphere which imitates the family environment.

80. SUMMARY
• 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.
