🎃Happy 7th Day of Halloween! I’ll be sharing one of my favorite spooktacular things to watch each day of October. TODAY’S FRANTASTIC FRIGHT: It's no secret that I have a personal connection to the sitcom Speechless. It was an amazing experience to see a family like mine on TV. Special needs families of all varieties finally had representation--and the show was smart, compassionate and funny without being sappy, exploitive, or mean. The cancellation of Speechless hit me on another level because it was on both a personal and creative level. I wanted to write for this show more than anything and I was so proud of my original specs for it. I'll always be sad that I never got to contribute something to this beautiful little world that Scott Silveri brought to life. The Speechless episode "H-A-L-HALLOWEEN" serves classic sitcom, Halloween fun and it's impressive that a show could pull something like this off in their first season. Many series spend their entire freshman season--and sometimes even part of their sophomore season, too-- trying to understand and establishing the show's identity. Ironically, Speechless never needed time to find its voice because it knew exactly who it was from the beginning. Each episode is thoughtfully and cleverly written, as well as executed. It's selfl-awareness and knack for satire made this show both witty and heartwarming without getting cheesey or sugar-coated. Too many shows today are so preoccupied trying to sell its audience something that they never bring anything original to the table. This series never had that problem. It was never preachy and its personality made it one of a kind. It still has stories to tell but we'll unfortunately never see them. But I'll always treasure the 3 perfect seasons we got of it and the laughter and comfort it brought me and my family.👻 #frantasticfrights #Halloween #👻 #halloweenseason #🎃 #spooktacular #horror #boomerang #horriblytakenpicturesofmytv #speechless #speechlessabc #johnrossbowie #jimmydimeo #kylakenedy #dylandimeo #cedricyarbrough #kennethclements #micahfowler #jjdimeo #minniedriver #mayadimeo #masoncook #raydimeo #scottsilveri #personal https://www.instagram.com/p/B3WMMtVJUgL/?igshid=1o5m4vd5qfytu

After watching the19th episode of Speechless, ‘C-h-Cheater!’, I believe that the producers made sure that the show not only entertained America’s viewers with senseless humor, but also made sure to incorporate important messages that all of todays society must have knowledge about and properly understand. For example, the concept of mistreatment of people with mental and physical disabilities in schooling and their overall performance was addressed as the moral of the plot in this particular episode. The episode starts out as Maya receiving a number of emails, letters in the mail, and voicemails from JJ’s history teacher requesting to have a meeting with her. As Maya, JJ, and Kenneth are talking to his teacher, he reveals that Kenneth has been helping JJ cheat on all of his tests. He personally did not have a problem with JJ receiving assistance, but his classmates were noticing the unfair treatment and had begun to complain. Maya then went to all of JJ’s teachers asking if they were giving JJ ‘special treatment’ in the classroom, and each of their responses fell along the lines of giving him answers before the tests, not forcing him to do his homework, or even letting him cheat. She was appalled by their lack of ethical teaching and made it clear that JJ was to be treated the same as his peers in the classroom. The ‘free-pass’ given to JJ by his teachers is often evident in schools today, as I have witnessed it first-hand. While certain kids with disabilities have limitation in schooling, some do not; however, people categorize them all as being incapable of excelling in school. JJ for instance, was more than capable of completing homework and taking tests like his classmates, but he was given this ‘pass’ that forced him to lack effort in school. Not only educators, but all influences in people’s lives with disorders do not need to allow them or provide to them these limitations and lack of expectations, rather they should be pushing them to excel to their fullest potential that those with disabilities can handle.

To further my research on mental disabilities and its representation in today’s society, I watched the second episode of Speechless, ‘N-e-New A-i-Aide’ to see how JJ is treated among his peers. The episode opens with Kenneth, the school janitor seeking out to be JJ’s aid at his new school, as he has come to realize a passion and special bond working alongside him. Most people with a disability require constant care and assistance, such as physical therapy to help with simple motor functions that are not easily learned for them. JJ wanted to par take in school activities, like the football team in order to co-exist with his peers, but his disability restricts him from such privileges. This lead Maya, his mother, to intervene and find a simple ‘medium’ to make JJ feel more included. The cost for such assistance and rehabilitation is very expensive, so people tend to avoid providing therapy and services their child may need, simply because it is too expensive. Therefore, many of those who are disabled are not given the proper care they so desperately need. On the show, the DiMeo family just recently moved into a run down home in a new district to allow JJ the proper education he deserves, even though they are struggling to afford the price of their 3 children’s needs. Also, Maya is continuously working hard with the school system and their financial companies to help accommodate JJ with paying for his physical therapy. Because Maya fought for her son, her requests were met and JJ was given private PT sessions in his home. Unlike Maya, people do not stand up for their children’s/family’s rights and privileges that they equal deserve, so they go their whole life without proper accommodations. People need to speak up about mental disabilities and fight for their rights; they are no different than those without disabilities and should be treated as such!

I don’t really know what the ABC Advisory Panel is exactly, but it seems like a place where you can give feedback about shows that might get listened to? I joined because I have so many opinions about Speechless (almost all good, only a few criticisms) as a disabled person, so if you’re like me and what to tell them how they’re doing with telling disability stories, join! As amazing as the show is (and it’s good to thank them for what they’re doing right,) it’s not perfect, and I’d love for them to hear opinions from other disabled people :)
