SUMMARY:Disability in the Media
DESCRIPTION:Join us on On September 10th with Katie MacMillan from Kello Inclusive, as part of AEFN’s DEAM 2025 Campaign. Disability in the Media invites employers and disability sector professionals to explore how media can move beyond tokenism toward authentic disability representation.\nThe session will examine the historical exclusion of disabled voices in Canadian media, challenge harmful tropes such as the “Super Crip” and “Tragic Victim,” and emphasize the importance of cross-disability perspectives and inclusive language.\nAttendees will learn how to identify ableism, adopt more responsible storytelling practices, and involve disabled talent at every stage of media creation. Real-world examples from Kello Inclusive will demonstrate what meaningful inclusion looks like in practice, while practical tools and strategies will help participants evaluate and improve their own media content.\nThe session will conclude with an open Q&A, reinforcing the call to shift narratives by centering disabled voices and building inclusive, accessible media from the ground up.\n \nASL available upon request.\n
