RaffertyWeiss produced this national people with disabilities video for the US Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment. The public service announcement features youth and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. The message shows that people with disabilities can perform if they are given a chance and because someone in their life told them they could achieve something. We shot at multiple locations around the DC area. Always proud to produce these PSAs and try to raise the awareness about people with disabilities.
Persons with disabilities are more likely than others to experience adverse socioeconomic, such as less education, poorer health, fewer employment opportunities, and higher poverty rates.

A German university is training people who have mental disabilities or learning difficulties to become teachers. Those who complete the program will bring to their new profession a unique perspective based on their individual disability. A German university has developed a program that trains people who have mental disabilities or learning difficulties to become teachers — in areas that include social studies, medicine, design, and architecture. Those who complete the program will bring to the teaching profession a unique perspective that’s based on their individual disability. Our report follows seven men and women through the training program, which is sponsored by the Institute for Inclusive Education at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences. All seven have worked at other jobs, but felt that they were not living up to their full potential. This program is aimed at helping them to do just that. If they complete the training program, they will be hired as “education specialists,” and offered employment contracts similar to those of university lecturers or assistant professors. We’ll find out whether the program will improve the participants’ self-esteem, how they cope with the stress of learning a new profession, and whether they are accepted by their fellow students at the university.
Art Enables helps artists with special needs create and sell their artwork. Only 20% of people with disabilities participate in the workforce. This program counters that by providing both an art studio for people with disabilities to make art and career and vocational training to market and sell their artwork. It helps these artists express themselves creatively, socialize, and earn flexible income to increase their independence and build careers. In our Art Enables documentary, we talk with some of the artists about their experiences as well as people running the program. Art Enables is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC and can be found online at https://art-enables.org/
