Disability and the Media

For my semester project, I examined the ways in which people with disabilities are portrayed in the media.  My discoveries were both shocking yet informative. I put together a mash up video to show different clips from select movies and tv shows to show how we are being affected by these ideologies. I referenced the book Disability and the Media by Charles A Riley II.   Within my findings, I found an informative Ted talk from a woman who is disabled herself and her own struggles. I left the video a little bit short of 10 mins so that I can take questions about the topic.
