Disability Representation in Media Matters

When people with disabilities see themselves in movies, TV, and books, it sends a powerful message: You belong. Here’s why representation is so important:

  • Inspiration, Not Stereotypes: Authentic representation shows people with disabilities as complex individuals, not just symbols of inspiration.

  • Breaking Barriers: Representation challenges harmful stereotypes and shifts public perceptions.

  • Amplifying Voices: When actors, writers, and creators with disabilities share their own stories, it adds authenticity and depth.

Do you have a favorite show, book, or movie that showcases disability in a meaningful way? Let’s celebrate media that gets it right!
