The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 prohibits discrimination. Article 14 (Equality before law) and Article 15 (Prohibition of discrimination) also provide a legal basis for addressing attitudinal barriers.

In practice, attitudinal barriers can manifest as reluctance to hire people with disabilities, lack of accessible infrastructure, and social stigma. The consequences include limited opportunities for education and employment, social isolation, and reduced quality of life.

Challenges include deeply ingrained societal beliefs, lack of awareness, and inadequate implementation of laws. Changing attitudes requires sustained efforts through education, awareness campaigns, and inclusive policies.

Recent developments include increased focus on disability awareness training in workplaces and schools, efforts to promote inclusive media representation of people with disabilities, and initiatives to challenge negative stereotypes and promote positive attitudes.
