It's often assumed that people with
Mental or physical disabilities cannot •
participate in today s complex society. - .
• As a symbolic gesture in this International Year, we've done .
something out of the ordinary: we'ye produced a television commercial-
just to set the record straight.
Consider this. Of the 68 people involved in our production, 42 are
mentally or physically disabled: among thern,.the director, the camera-
man, the set designer and the carpenters, the electrician, the snake -up
artist, the sound engineer, the announcer, many of the musicians and
the man who wrote the music, ilio was deaf -but is better remembered
for being Beethoven.
If you've seen the commercial, you've seen what happens when we
work together If you haven't seen it yet, it's a dramatic demonstration
of a single simple point: disabled people should be thought of for what
they can do, rather than whatlthey can't. Our slogan, created by a man
with a disability, sums it up and says it alt. "label us able:'
