    Diffability Hollywood Review
    (University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2018) Raphael, Raphael
    What does disability mean in film? What is life like for a working actor with a visible disability? What are the contradictory ways in which those who self-identify as disabled respond to cinematic portrayals of disability? These are some of the questions explored in filmmaker Adrian Esposito’s remarkable documentary Diffability Hollywood. The film explores representations of disability in film as well as the lives of young performers with disabilities, tracking their careers in film and television.

Diffability Hollywood provides a well-rounded historical overview of representations of disability in film.....

    Unsettling the Resettled: An Intersectional Analysis of Autism in the Somali Diaspora
    (University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2018) Baker, Diana ; Kim, Hyejung
    This multiple case study uses intersectionality and neurodiversity as frameworks to understand the experiences of Somali American families and the educators working with their children. Three primary themes emerged—parenting: intersections among race, disability, and gender; cultural assumptions and family/educator communication; and diversity and agency among mothers. Practical implications for educating students with autism from non-dominant racial/ethnic, linguistic, religious, and cultural backgrounds are discussed.

    Let’s Get “AWARE” of Preventing Violence through Good Mental Health Promotion
    (University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2018) Leake, David
    In February 2018, the United States experienced yet another devastating mass shooting, this time at a high school in Florida with a total of 17 people left dead. Once again, many politicians who are opposed to stricter gun control shifted the blame to “mental illness” despite themselves having records of seeking cuts to programs that promote good mental health and/or opposing parity between physical and mental health coverage in health insurance.... It is notable that there are evidence-based practices that can be used in schools to promote good mental health and greatly reduce the likelihood of violence....
