[nabs-l] pop culture portrayals of disabilities

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi,
I just remembered another book. I read this in fifth grade, so I don't remember it fully enough to give you a detailed description but it's called Things Not Seen, by Andrew Clements. It's about  a blind girl named Alicia and her friend Bobby, who can make himself invisible, so not realistic but still very interesting and funny.
I believe there are also 2 other books in that series called Things Hoped For and Things That Are.

Next month, I will be partnering with another student at my university to give a presentation on how pop culture portrayals of disabilities create stereotypes and form people's perceptions about us. I will be talking about portrayals of people with physical disabilities, while the other student will be talking about portrayals of mental disabilities. I have a few ideas (Daredevil, Need to Breathe), but if anyone knows of a relatively modern book/movie/TV show that portrays people with disabilities, your input would be super helpful. It can be blindness, deafness, people in wheelchairs, whatever.
