Day 25: Disabilities in media

Disability in media 

People with disabilities in media play a crucial role in fostering inclusivity and representation. Characters like Julia from Sesame Street contribute to breaking stereotypes and promoting awareness. Julia, who has autism, helps educate audiences about Autism and Inclusion, which encourages understanding and acceptance. Including characters with disabilities in media not only reflects the diversity of the real world but also provides positive role models, fostering empathy and creating a more inclusive society. It’s a step towards breaking down barriers and showcasing the richness of experiences within the disability community.
