In the words of USA based American Disabilities Act Advocate, Denise Sherer Jacobson, “Even when a Disabilities Law has been signed it amounts to nothing until you change society’s attitude’ and that’s exactly what, our joint duties are, to help achieve just that with this TV show.
In the light of the above, we are delighted to bring on board, in partnership with INNOVATIVE IDEAS LTD, over two decades of experience in television production. The show is titled ‘The Specials’ because we PWDs come with a special or uniquely able ability and it is very germaine that we celebrate ourselves and let the world know that disability is not inability even in a society where cultures and policies tend to isolate and make life difficult for PWDs. We will show the world our will to survive through CORE (Courage, Opportunities Responsibilities and Empowerment of PWDs breaking the glass ceiling in their daily affairs or chosen fields).
