Geena Davis Institute - The State of Disability Representation on Television

Representation shapes perception — and right now, disability is still nearly invisible on television.

Only 3.9% of TV characters have a disability, and just 21% of those roles are authentically cast.

On December 3, the Geena Davis Institute is hosting a virtual event to unpack new research on disability representation in TV and what authentic storytelling can change — for audiences, for culture, and for inclusion.

If disability is invisible on screen, it becomes invisible everywhere.
