Jacob's Turn
Sprout Flix, 2010 (8 m)
... the story of Jacob Titus, a four-year-old boy from the small rural community of Floyds Knobs, Indiana. Jacob loves to play T-ball, like thousands of kids across the country. Jacob also happens to have Down syndrome. The film shows how Jacob’s “turn” at bat and on the field was a thrill for him, but more importantly, an event that transformed the hearts of everyone in his town. The script for the short film is based on his mother, Patricia Titus’ essay she wrote and submitted to the local newspaper. Based out of, and produced in, the Ohio Valley region, “Jacob’s Turn” also received a nomination in the Human Interest – News category.
A long list of films of varying lengths about people with Down syndrome is available on the Sprout Flix website, including several from Australia.

... Not that it matters to anyone, I suppose, but I think that the organisations serving people with Down Syndrome do an awful lot right. They seem not to be afraid of the 'identity' of those they serve even as they focus on the 'personhood' of those they serve. The message that 'difference is difference' but 'the same is the same' is a difficult one to navigate but they do it so well ...

Converstation - with Stella Young

As the editor of ABC's Ramp Up website, Stella's keen to challenge perceptions of disability, so that people aren't simply classified by medical diagnoses. For her, disability is more often defined by poor access in built environments and inconsiderate behaviour than a person's physicality. Stella's advocacy began as a teenager in country Victoria, when she conducted a wheelchair access audit of her local main street. More recently, she's been heavily involved in the debate over Australia's need for a national disability insurance scheme.

Sometimes I spend time worrying about my infant son’s future. My son with Down syndrome. My son with a disability. My son, a human being. Among the things I worry about is that the world will see him as nothing but a problem. An anomaly, a special circumstance, some thing to be ”handled” and “managed”.
