Disability Inclusion in the Entertainment Industry

According to a 2018 study by GLAAD, just 2.1 percent of scripted characters on primetime TV have disabilities in the 2018-2019 season.

Additionally, a Ruderman Family Foundation study found that a mere five percent of characters with a disability were played by an actor with an actual disability

1 in 5 Americans identify as a person with disabilities.

With #cripthescript we are advocating for:

1 in 5 representation for persons with disabilities in the entertainment industry & for 100% of all Disabled Roles to be played by Disabled Actors.
