Megan Handley is a Communications student at Ithaca College. As someone living with disabilities, Megan has written articles about her personal experiences and how the media depicts people with disabilities.

The erasure of non-visible disabilities in society and the media. The under-diagnosis of girls and/or people of color with disabilities. Should actors without disabilities portray characters with disabilities? Megan's articles can be found on bookstr.com
