About Disabilities, Accessibility and Inclusion

Books and movies about disabilities are not only a great window into the lives of many people in our diverse society, but they are also be a wonderful source of inspiration.

Physical limitations can make life more challenging, but these books and movies show characters with disabilities finding ways to live the lives they want. Stories about characters with physical difficulties can help build understanding, compassion, and tolerance among readers and viewers who don’t face those challenges — as well as give those who do a chance to see relatable people on screen. Everyone can learn a lot about courage, compassion, and perseverance as they read, watch and discuss these inspiring stories.
