We want to extend our deepest thanks to our partners who assisted with the creation of this toolkit. You are doing critical work serving people with disabilities within the entertainment industry and the broader disability community. We hope this toolkit empowers more people to ensure their diversity efforts include the one-in-five Americans with a disability, our nation’s largest minority group.
Thank you to California Endowment and Jose Plaza for their funding that enabled us to create this toolkit. Thank you also to the following people who reviewed sections of this guide: Deborah Calla, Ollie Cantos, Pam Dixon, Elaine Hall, Diana Elizabeth Jordan, John Lawson, Sandra McElwee, Jonathan Murray, Nic Novicki, Allen Rucker, Steven James Tingus, Donna Walton, Delbert Whetter, Jevon Whetter and Gail Williamson. Thank you to Jonathan Fusfield for editing and formatting this toolkit.
Likewise, we want to credit the staff and Spring 2018 fellows from RespectAbility for their time and effort on this guide. Their fingerprints are all over this document and their work will benefit everyone who reads it. Thank you as well to RespectAbility’s Chair Emeritus Calvin Harris and our entire board for believing in our work and supporting our coast-to-coast work.
