Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: The current study content analyzed 407 episodes of childrens
programming to better understand what children could be learning about
people with physical disabilities from television. Findings reveal
characters with a physical disability are rare, tended to be older males
whose disability is not central to the characters importance, but the
characters themselves are not central to the plot. The characters are
depicted as morally good, attractive, satisfied with life, and as equals
to able-bodied characters.

Abstract:
A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or
resource. The manual describes a variety of media approaches in the United
States, Hong Kong, India, and Pakistan to changing attitudes toward the
disabled. Four principles of media communications are stressed: (1)
children's television is an important vehicle for changing attitudes; (2)
it is vital to know the audience; (3) active participation by the target
audience is the goal; and (4) begin with the indigenous structures of any
culture. First, development of a disability awareness component for the
American television program, Sesame Street, is reviewed. Among Hong Kong
activities described are: the Festival of Arts with the Disabled, the
International Arts Symposium, cable television, the Television Magazine
format series, and the Children's Media Workshop. Indian programs
described include: a workshop with the Central Institute for Educational
Technology; a workshop on Childhood Disability; and a UNICEF consultancy.
Activities in Pakistan include production of public service announcements,
a photography project, a Workshop on Media and People with Disabilities,
and an in-house UNICEF workshop on children and the media. Commentaries on
the manual are provided by Robert Ruffner, formerly with the President's
Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, Louise Duval of the
Department of Anthropology and Sociology of Fordham University, and Sandra
Gordon of the National Easter Seal Society. (DB)
