Each student will be responsible for either watching a TV show or movie or reading a book that deals with a person with an intellectual disability or autism or has a significant theme relating to intellectual disability or autism. The analytical paper should be a minimum of 5 pages, double-spaced in 12-point font on a Word document and should address the following:
How is disability portrayed?
What factors were present that influenced this portrayal?
How might the work (TV Show, film or book) have influenced society’s attitudes about disability?
How are professionals shown in their interactions with individuals with disabilities or their families?
How did the work affect you?
I chose the movie “Forrest Gump” for my essay.
