Media and Disability.

Elliott, Timothy R.; Byrd, E. Keith

Rehabilitation Literature, (Attitudes) v43 n11-12 p348-55 Nov-Dec 1982

The review of literature on portrayal of disability in books, television, film, and classroom media emphasizes their reinforcement of stereotypic attitudes long held by the public and concludes that initiation of accurate, nonstereotypic portrayals of the disabled on television is long overdue.
