Movies and Films about Disability and Higher Education

---

 We certainly do not recommend all of the films on this list, but they do all feature students or professors with disabilities or "differences" that have a disability subtext. 

Many of them are available on Netflix. Others can be found at public libraries as DVD's or streaming.
