ABSTRACT
This was a descriptive co- relational study carried out in Makindye, Kampala District. The
aim of the study was to assess the community’s stigma and practices towards persons with
physical disabilities. To help with this appraisal, a total of 100 non-disabled respondents
aged between 10-65 years were interviewed using simple random sampling, was used to
decide locations and cluster sampling used for t he households.
Almost half of the respondents had relatives, friends with disabilities and three quarter
indicated that some intervention (like vocational training and equipping them with special
skills) should be availed to persons with disabilities. Three fifihs (3/5) disagreed that there
was equalization of opportunities to all members of the society’s; a fact reflected by nearly
all of those interviewed stating no special institutions exist in the area to cater for the needs
of persons with physical disabilities.
It is therefore recommended that further sensitization and mobilization be community to be
stepped up to harness the knowledge and attitude they possess so that they can be reflected in their practices
