Summary/Abstract: The group of persons with disabilities represents a group at immediate risk of socialexclusion. Different researchers offer us analyses of the phenomenon of exclusion of differentgroups of population, but we can find very few studies regarding the measurementof social distance towards the groups at risk of exclusion. We set the goal to measure theIndices of Social Distance (ISD) towards the following groups: family that cares the childwith disabilities; adult person with disabilities and the child with disabilities.The measurement was performed using the instrument – Bogardus Scale. Accordingto this technique, we have: if the distance is bigger, than the social group islesser accepted.The minimum ISD counted for our researched groups: the family caring child/children with disabilities; adult persons with disabilities and children/adolescentswith disabilities, confirms the fact that the social distance expressed by people towardsthese groups is minimal respectively the groups are accepted.
