Summary/Abstract: The term „stigma” has its origins within the greek „στίγματα” which refers to a sign of shamefulness and disparagement. The stigma is a multibeveled construction which includes emotions, attitudes and behaviors. Considering this signification of stigma, we can state that the stigmatization of the persons with disabilities refers to the emotions, attitudes and behaviors’ dynamic towards these persons.
