Can you name any disabled character's on children's television?

If so what programme are they from and what role do they play? And do you think they are represented in a postive or negative way?

Can you name any disabled character's on children's television?
There's a few, here are the details of the ones I can think of - they may not all be current though.





I know there was a woman who was deaf on Sesame Street but I can't remember her name - this is when I watched it though which is about 15 years ago





There's a woman on Balamory who's in a wheelchair





There used to be a girl with a physical disability in Tracy Beaker who used a walking frame as well





They're the only ones I can come up with.





Sorry I can't give you names but the sites I can find don't have the names of the characters. For the balamory character you should be able to find out by watching the show. It's a British show
Reply:Not sure the age range you are looking for, but for older children, Malcolm in the Middle...Stevie is Malcolm's best friend (they are in the same accelerated class). He is a wheelchair user and has severe asthma. He is portrayed in a good light, and I never even thought about him being a wheelchair user until your question came up.





Sesame Street has a deaf adult, who teaches the monsters (and thus the children) signs. She is treated as being just like everyone else, just talking different.
Reply:I can't recall the character's name, but it's an animal on Franklin who has cerebral palsy. Very good show- positive.
