RespectAbility is a nonprofit organization that fights stigmas and advances opportunities so people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of community. Led by diverse people with disabilities and allies, RespectAbility accomplishes our mission with a three-part strategy:
- Fighting stigmas by promoting diverse, authentic and accurate portrayals of people with disabilities
- Advancing opportunities by identifying and promoting best practices in education, employment, civic engagement and access
- Leadership development to strengthen a talent pipeline of people with disabilities
RespectAbility provides tools, trainings and contacts to support creative and business executives at major production companies and studios to improve the number and quality of authentic, diverse and inclusive representation of people with disabilities on screen. RespectAbility increases hiring initiatives of people with disabilities behind the camera, supporting disabled employees and their employers, and enriches the pool of disabled talent in Hollywood by connecting them to those who can assist with their careers, both on the creative and business sides of the industry. The creator of The Hollywood Disability Inclusion Toolkit in 2018, RespectAbility launched the innovative Lab Program for entertainment professionals with disabilities working behind the camera in 2019, and went virtual for summer 2020. RespectAbility’s Lauren Appelbaum is a recipient of the 2020 Roddenberry Foundation Impact Award for this Lab.
