Dialogue on Disability is a programming initiative that celebrates the amazing lives of people with special needs. During the week-long series, which runs January 7 through January 14, WXXI presents special programming on TV, radio, and at the Little Theatre. The programming is designed to encourage community dialogue about the lives and abilities of people with physical and intellectual disabilities and the importance of inclusion. Dialogue on Disability is made possible through support from the Fred L. Emerson Foundation.
