The study aimed to identify the attitudes of third-grade students in regular schools in Jordan towards students with disabilities. The study sample consisted of (103) students from the third grade without disabilities, who were chosen randomly. The researchers developed a scale of attitudes for achieving the study purposes, which is a liker type scale, which was conducted to the study sample. The results of the study showed that the attitudes of third-grade students towards students with disabilities were low. The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences in students' attitudes towards their peers with disabilities due to the effect of gender in favor of females. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in students' attitudes towards their peers with disabilities due to the effect of academic achievement. The results of the study recommended the need to work on developing programs to improve the attitudes of students without disabilities towards their peers with disabilities. (Published abstract)
