Ablevisionis an award-winning show produced entirely by people with special needs. They have a crew of 45 that meets twice a week to write, shoot, and produce a half-hour monthly show which is broadcast throughout the Boston area, and beyond. Through this program they seek to educate and entertain the community-at-large about a variety of topics through their unique prospective. On their youtube.com/user/Ablevision website they say, "We want everyone to know we can do anything! Not only do we want to portray people with disabilities in a positive light, but also offer a unique program that allows people with disabilities creative control and direction." They have interviewed Kevin James who starred in "Mall Cop"; people at Special Olympics events, like Michael Finlay, the top-ranked male figure skater; the director of Windrush Farm - a therapeutic horseback riding farm; and people at a community park clean-up in Hyde Park who were making it more handicapped accessible. The joy and enthusiasm, the hope with the challenges of this crew of 45 is very impressive. Keep on keepin' on!! (Photo is my interview on WARM 101.3)
