Studies have shown that people in General Harbor Negative and Paternalistic attitudes towards Persons with Disabilities. Myths, legends, scriptures, and folklores are all part of the cultural belief system that shapes such attitudes.

The social and physical environment in which these physically challenged individuals live is often designed without much consideration of their special needs. In this article, some social interventions aimed at changing disability attitudes of rural people in India are discussed. As part of a Community-based Rehabilitation program, the main thrust of these interventions was to shift the attention of local communities from disabilities to the abilities of the physically challenged. The efficiency of these social interventions is discussed.
