Creating life-changing solutions so that people with disabilities can
live, learn, work and play.

I'm excited to tell you about the Media Access Awards with
Easterseals! If you're searching for a collection of movies and
TV shows to check out with excellent disability representation and
talent, then look no further.

This weekend, the Media Access Awards with Easterseals honored
inclusive and authentic depictions of disability in film and
television, in front of and behind the camera. What's even more
exciting is that this made history as the first awards show hosted by
two deaf performers, CODA stars and Academy Award winners, Marlee
Matlin and Troy Kotsur, and it was broadcast on PBS.

This was made possible thanks to years of collaboration with media and
entertainment partners through the Easterseals Disability Film
Challenge.

We are thrilled that this amazing show celebrating disability got the
long overdue recognition it deserves. Honorees included Lauren
"Lolo" Spencer who receives the first-ever Easterseals
Impact Award, presented by Easterseals Southern California board
member Nic Novicki, and Simon Cowell receiving the Norman Lear-Geri
Jewell Lifetime Achievement Award.
