"Maybe One Day" LiveWorkPlay Public Service Message

It's time to change hearts and minds about people with intellectual disabilities. Inclusion is more than a physical location, it's an attitude. Do you need to change yours?

Thanks for that comment! One problem is a lot of broadcasters no longer accept third party PSAs. But it looks like it might soon get shown in the Owen Sound area, which is great.

It is rather sad but a lot of people are simply not comfortable with "difference" there was a story recently about a television host in the UK with a minor physical disability who got hate mail about how she was a monster and was scaring children! Sigh.

They were not LiveWorkPlay videos, but they sound familiar. But the commercial I am thinking of was not exclusively about people with intellectual disabilities.

Thanks for the comment I hope we can do another commercial in future.

I show this video in a presentation called opening doors!

Wonderfull to see it on youtube!

This type of commercial should be complemtary PSA on ALL broadcasting schedules. That includes TV and radio. Hope you can make more. It's different enough to catch attention. Meaning, it's not just another useless low value ad for senseless junk.

Imagine, humans are = who'd a thunk, it?

No kidding? That's awesome hopefully that means they will keep running it for a long time, it's definitely starting to get known. I changed it on the website so I guess that's that, thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you they have already changed it on TV

[liveworkplayvideo]

Thanks Stever, the part of the televised video that has the A-Channel logo was added by A-Channel (or should I say "A"!) so they'd have to change that themselves, but I will definitely update the logo on our website.

Saw this on A-Channel indeed people with intellectual disabilities are just regular people

ps you may want to update the video and webstie as A-Channel is now "A"

[liveworkplayvideo]

Well, sort of! It's a bit of a cruel joke that there are many ignorant individuals who have yet to see people with intellectual disabilities as PEOPLE rather than objects of pity or derision. The commercial is about educating the public by poking fun at ignorant attitudes.

I thought it was a joke commercial.
