Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to show how the relationship of a healthy person towards people with special needs has evolved and what needs to be done today to make such people useful and to make them feel good while giving their contribution in their workplace. Namely, every day more and more attention is paid to people with special needs. In the past, this was not the case, and people with special needs in either physical, mental, or any other sense were considered secondclass people and felt to be a burden to the society in which they lived. A new way of life, new technologies, stress, inadequate nutrition from day to day result in more people with special needs. We definitely need to give this problem more attention and a more serious place. The paper aims to show that people with special needs can be useful in their environment and society as a whole. It is considered that the current status of persons with disabilities is still unsatisfactory. The purpose of the research was to test (confirm or reject) the hypothesis that people with disabilities are not fully accepted even today and that there is a disparity between what the media and science say and what exists in real life. The aim was to explore how society addresses a person with physical and mental disabilities, how it calls a person with visible physical disabilities and whether the term “etiquette in communication with people with special needs” is used in society at all. The question is how to help them?
