Web Sightings

What are your favorite disability-related video clips? Each month, we showcase a handful of disability-related Web sites, video clips or news items, as picked by someone in the community.

Five Web favorites from ICI's Jerry Smith

Ps. Join in. Send your top five (with comments) to access@accesspress.org

“Disability means possibility”
www.youtube.com/

Jerry commented that, “you gotta love Radiohead!” especially as part of this well-shot public service announcement from Scope. It reminds us all that the initial differences we notice about other people may not be so severe after all—we’re all human.

Forward to: the music fan in your life

“No body’s perfect”
www.youtube.com/

Check out this PSA on school inclusion, featuring a bunch of cute kids doing artwork, and see how creative expression can lead to greater understanding and interaction between people of all abilities.

Forward to: anyone involved with children

“In my language”
www.youtube.com/

Brilliance can poke its head out of some pretty unconventional places. As a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and more importantly, what does not, this video’s worth a viewing. It could even spark your own expression.

Forward to: artists, public speakers, or any one else interested in the various ways we communicate

“Interact Center”
www.youtube.com/

This is a profile of the Interact Center’s Matt Dahlstrom, who Jerry says is “a comic genius.” See for yourself!

Forward to: a fan of the theater or show tunes

“Higher ground”
www.youtube.com/

From a documentary about direct support professionals and those they helped during Hurricane Katrina, this clip shows how assisting others can be even more valuable in times of crisis.

Forward to: those in need of inspiration or hope
