Disability Entertainment

The disability recreation and entertainment section of Disabled World covers disability topics such as film, video, and hobbies including disability fishing, flying, hunting, gardening and coin collecting.

World Governments are finally recognizing that people with disabilities face significant barriers to recreation, sport, and wellness, and that access to these opportunities are more critical to people with disabilities than those without disabilities.

One such example is people with disabilities are finally being portrayed more in both movies and television shows around the world. Some of our disability entertainment articles listed below focus on these actors and actresses with disabilities.

Disabled World also features information and articles on hobbies for the disabled and elderly including accessible gardening, and other recreational hobbies suitable for people with disabilities, seniors, and baby boomers. For example our disability fishing information provides a handy resource of how and where articles for those that enjoy recreational fishing. And our new disability flying and hunting sections are designed to offer further assistance for those wishing to start these activities or obtain further information.

Due to website expansion Disabled World is in the process of adding many new disability entertainment and recreational activity resources.

Note: Our older entertainment categories are listed below, and our new recreation activities that are accessible to people with disabilities can be found in the right hand menu and includes information on how people with disabilities can access or become involved in many competitive and recreational activities. Our resources also include addresses and phone numbers for hundreds of adaptive recreation equipment manufacturers and disability recreation organizations.
