New Television Show on Travel and Disability Planned

» feistyfemale56 - It's about time

That disabled people, that people in all stripes and walks of life, are portrayed reasonable and fairly in the mass media. Such exposure to topics and ideas that the "Average Joe" finds uncomfortable will go a long way to remove longheld stigmas.

The TV show "Monk" is an example of a lighthearted, healthy way to introduce people to someone with mental health issues, IMHO. My guess is we'll never really know how many barriers are broken with such exposure, but we will certainly feel the fresh air.
