´óÏó´«Ã½

This week, in the run up to the on December Third, prepare to see an unprecedented amount of disability flavoured stuff on ´óÏó´«Ã½ TV, radio and online.

´óÏó´«Ã½ One's Blue Peter will be continuing their appeal to raise money for Whizz-Kidz and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Four will broadcast The Diving Bell and the Butterfly on Thursday.

´óÏó´«Ã½ News will be focusing on a different aspect of disabled life each day in a five part series called Access All Areas. Sport, technology and employment will all feature later in the week, but today it's about whether attitudes have changed towards disabled people since the first disability act was passed through government, forty years ago.

Peter White reports on a survey the ´óÏó´«Ã½ has undertaken on modern attitudes to disability. He also speaks to Alf Morris, the man who passed that very first act. Alf has his own strongly held views on how far society has come since 1970.

ITV and other channels are also getting involved and there's a comprehensive round-up of the week's programming on the website.
