BBC survey: Have attitudes to disability changed?

14
December
2012

Following the Paralympics this summer, do you think that attitudes to disabled people in sport have changed? The BBC would like to know.

The BBC’s online form asks:

“How far have the Paralympics changed perceptions of what disabled individuals can achieve?

“Have you found a difference in attitudes to your disability following the Paralympics? Or are viewpoints much the same?”

UKDS has been asked by the LOCOG Disability Forum to help spread the word and to encourage Deaf people to give the BBC their experience.

Let the BBC know what your experience is.
