Meet Barney

When Barney was hired at a Phoenix-area Denny's in the late 70's, it was a time when adults with developmentally-disability were not completely trusted in the workforce. Now, three decades later, Barney is one of the restaurant's most valued employees. In his own way, he's been able to shape and change the public perception of those living with disability.

This was completed as a thesis project for the Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University. This piece is the first of the five-part documentary. Produced by Sarah Whitmire.
