Each day, there are individuals in the media either portrayed positively or negatively. For example, do you

ever hear news reporters say, “The Mentally Retarded Person?” That is a negative

portrayal. Or have you seen where there are now individuals with Down Syndrome who

are models? That is a positive portrayal to let people know that individuals with

disabilities can do things that individuals without disabilities do. I want you to investigate

the portrayal with disabilities of individuals in popular media. You will include at least

three specific examples from movies, television, news stories, social media, and/or

magazines of media portrayal of disabilities. The examples may be positive or negative.

In a PPT presentation, you will critically analyze the media’s portrayal of individuals

with disabilities. Your PPT should include the following:
