For many filmmakers and talent, their workspace is on set. For disabled representation to be increased both behind and in front of the camera, Hollywood needs to make sets accessible. Itās not that hard, it just takes intention.
If sets arenāt accessible, disabled talent canāt be included. If theyāre not included, their stories and point of view are not told. If their stories are not told, culture does not change. Add the A. Make your set accessible.

Weāre less than a week into National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The stories of companies talking about the value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are everywhere.
The truth that far too many of us in the disability community know however, is that for many of them, the goal is optics over action.

We should not only make research more accessible because it is the right thing to do, but because it provides more accurate results.
