In this week of Rare Treasures we are having mini episodes where we talk about characters with disabilities. We investigate to see if they are a good representation of disability. In this episode we are talking about Dory from Disney's Finding Nemo (2003) and Finding Dory (2016) and if she is an accurate representation of disability.
