Stories and opinions were shared about how disabilities are often misrepresented in the media and whether one experienced mixed messages from the society as a result of media’s portrayal of disabilities. Great discussion was had on the topic of advocating for better representation of disabilities or authentic casting in films and TV show for May’s Twitter chat!

Thank you to all who participated and joined in on our #CDRchat on “Disability in the Media.” If you weren’t able to join us for the May chat, I hope this recap will provide you with insights and advices, as well as information for joining the #LiveOn movement and work to end misrepresentation in the media!

Join us on June 21st at 2pm for the #CDRchat on “Disability Integration Act!”
