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.

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 for children with disabilities 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.

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.
