Historically, people with disabilities have been portrayed in media in a limited range of ways, often as objects of pity or inspiration, or as villains or monsters.

These stereotypes can be harmful and lead to discrimination and prejudice against people with disabilities.

In recent years, there has been a growing movement towards more inclusive and accurate representations of disability in media, with a focus on diverse and authentic portrayals of people with disabilities as full and active members of society.

This includes representation of disability across a range of genres and media, including film, television, advertising, and popular culture.

Representations of disability in media can help to challenge stereotypes and promote greater understanding and acceptance of people with disabilities in society.
